Men Have Forgotten God
I’m worried about Americans. I’ve been navigating around the Internet and keeping an eye on the Five Eye nations. To me, it looks like the Five Eye nations are gearing up for a war with China. This would only be because China is gearing up for a war.
The American soldier today does not have what the American soldier had in the Second World war. The American and German Officers we’re about equal. I would give The German officers the edge. But the American foot soldier was more advance then the German foot soldier in strategies on the battlefield. I’m not talking about bravery I’m talking about the ability to outsmart the German foot soldier. And to me, I believe this is where the war was won.
American soldiers’ moral values today. I believe The American soldier has lost his moral compass. This will be a serious issue in a war. Regarding religious issues, I believe The American soldier has lost his faith in God. Ethics and religion would have given the American Soldiers the edge. I believe the American soldier today has lost his edge.
I believe the United States Marine Core if they still have a moral compass would be… I can’t finish this. ~ Norman Bliss
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a Russian novelist, philosopher, historian, short story writer, and political prisoner. Solzhenitsyn was an outspoken critic of the Soviet Union and Communism and helped to raise global awareness of the Soviet Gulag forced-labor camp system. Regarding atheism, Solzhenitsyn declared:
Over a half-century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.” Since then I have spent well-nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution; in the process, I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.” ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
