Fusillading

This Field Grade army officer never saw a military execution, firing squad. (fusillading) In this 21^st Century, politically correct world, the enemy are treated better than our own military veterans. Just recently we learned that the cremated remains of veterans at Dover, Delaware (US military mortuary), were disposed of in a garbage dump. At the same time, it was announced by the same US military that $750,000 has just been spent preparing a soccer field so the prisoners (Islamic terrorists) at Guantanamo, Cuba will have a better place for their soccer games.

I never saw a firing squad but, I did see a retiring Army Surgeon General put to death in a US Army hospital, In other articles, I have described the unbelievable circumstances surrounding the US Army hospital, Fort McClellan, Alabama, where I was on staff. Along with rocket experts (Van Braun, Brauer etc.) which America brought back from defeated Nazi Germany. Nazi doctors and nurses to staff that hospital, closest military facility to Red Stone arsenal. Early, the “playground” of NASA , outer-space activity. The retired doctor, Army Surgeon General, patient in the hospital. I was duty officer along with another young Puerto Rican officer. The general was having problems, and as usual, certainly at Walter Reed, where so many ranking officials have died, Colonel Marx, the German commander who had probably not seen a patient or medical journal for many years, pulled his rank and ”ability”, took over. Compared to a prison execution, execution by chemicals, the General expired.

Of course there was a huge funeral at the post chapel honoring all the dignitaries, his casket drawn by horses, guns booming, the troops lined up, including Wacs from the Wac center in their pressed dresses, the General's widow on the arm of Colonel Marx, her husband's executioner. Only two officers knew the truth... and we said nothing. The truth has always been the truth whether anyone believes it or not AND, then, more so now, everyone loves a lie.

Christianity is not complicated, just tough. I would read over the acts of the Apostles into God's word and just marvel at these men... what they endured because they knew and believed the resurrected Savior. If you do not think so, do not turn on “the news” controlled by the secular news media. Those at the masquerade party, most of those filling church pews, think they are doing God a favor because of their attendance at a service. In my lifetime, the modern church (and the church is supposed to be God’s called-out believers) has made a beggar of God. Begging “supposed” believers to attend services in which God is worshiped, begging people to attend “prayer services”, begging people to teach small children in Sunday School, begging people to give of their means for God's work. The tithe is the Lords whether you give it or not. Your time is the Lords whether you give it or not. “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

(2 Timothy 3:1,2)

And so it is with the land of the free, the home of the brave, once called, “America the beautiful”, land of opportunity. We forgot so easily those 56 patriots who signed their names to the Declaration of Independence... risking everything. Even the President of the United States, does not have the American flag behind him anymore when he speaks. I understand school children do not honor the flag or pledge allegiance. Will parents, pastors, politicians, be happy when all Americans become “occupiers” with their same set of values and morals? I am told that at a local Christian college, the Harry Potter books and films, are the most popular.

God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His word is forever “settled in Heaven” (Psalm 119:89) Throughout God's book, we are instructed about those then and now, chosen for Himself. The Jewish nation, delivered from bondage and slavery in Egypt, humbled by a 40 year wilderness existence, walked in shoes of iron and brass. (Deuteronomy 33:25) It was a tough trip, just as our lives are a tough trip. Yesterdays walking will not do. (Psalm 94) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7) God gives His own the “strength” they need. (Psalm 84:8) Just as He supplied nourishing bread each day in the wilderness, so He supplies our needs. Most heart attacks do not come from yesterday or today's concerns but concerns about tomorrow. Satan can only do what God will let him do. Every time my wonderful mother would express her worries about something, I always had the same reply, “the same God that got you this far, will get you the rest of the way” 35 million Americans have a “so-called” metabolic syndrome, they just don't care... overeat the wrong things, become addicted to poisons. Instead of eating like the cave man ate, gorge their digestive systems and minds on the wrong things. They get the idea that suicide is fast, it can be very slow... slow death, physically and spiritually.

Those of us who are chosen-elected are sealed forever. God will unseal us, in the meantime, we live in an electromagnetic universe, Everything charged, in spite of the fact we have those who demand neutralization of everything. (no gender, same-sex marriage, bathrooms, clothing, etc.) Like putting a drop of food coloring in a bathtub of water, in the equilibrium, God will recognize his own, And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, will keep you. (Philippians 4:7)
