A thread about wondering if “it’s time” for justice.
Many of us express frustration that arrests haven’t been made yet. The WWII experience of a friend gives me perspective that I’d like to share with you. It’s probably a simple minded way of thinking, but it makes sense to me.

2-My friend was a machine gunner during the Battle of the Bulge.
He was surrounded by the enemy... in the snow... without a winter coat... or gloves... during the coldest winter Bastogne, Belgium had experienced in many years.
If you watched the “Band of Brothers” series...

3-...you got a small glimpse of the conditions my friend and HIS “band of brothers” fought in during that horrible battle.
One thing I didn’t mention: They were fighting for their lives AND they were almost out of ammunition.
Every night, they would get pounded...

4-... and every day, they wondered if they could hold on until the weather cleared enough for Allied Forces to be able to drop much needed food, supplies and ammunition.
One day, the inevitable happened: the Germans approached.

5- My friend, a young Private in the 101st Airborne was ordered to not fire until ordered to do so.
The Germans began to move.
He wanted to open up on them.
No order was given.
They came closer.
He said he felt if he didn’t shoot, he would die.
But, no order was given.

6- The Germans crossed a creek and approached the point where they would be able to open up on the Americans and slaughter them.
No order was given.
He told me he felt there was no way the Germans wouldn’t kill them all.
Still they came closer... but, no order was given.

7- What my friend didn’t know was that underneath the snow, not visible to the eye of the Germans OR American soldiers, was a fence.
One man knew: the commanding officer.
At the very moment he knew the Germans were trapped at the fence and could not escape...

8-...he gave the order.
The young, cold, starved paratroopers unloaded on the approaching Germans. Against an overwhelming army with odds against them, and with VERY little ammunition, the young Americans HELD THEIR POSITION.
They won.
They lived to hear planes come...

9- ...overhead with supplies.
They had won the battle.
The lesson for us: If they had NOT followed the orders of their commander, they would have engaged their enemy before the strong, heavily armed enemy was in at the “point of no escape.”

10- We “digital soldiers” are, right now, the “young machine gunner in the foxhole with our finger on the trigger,” wanting to wipe the evil enemy out.
Yesterday!
But, the team that created “the plan” knows where the “hidden fence underneath the snow” is. The intel team...

11-...that led us into this battle is quietly telling us, “Not yet, not yet... be ready, be ready...” as we wait during these last days of the battle we are in.
At precisely the correct time, “it” will happen.

The command from the top at precisely the right moment, and the evil WILL be defeated.
I don’t know about you, but I have “seen the enemy approaching” and wanted to stop them.
My “trigger finger” is itchy for JUSTICE.

13- We “digital soldiers” are at the point where we say, “I can’t handle it any more! This evil has to stop!”
But, lately... I think we have begun to see the enemy “trapping themselves up against the fence” of actions they cannot escape from.
It won’t be long, friends.

14- @GenFlynn tells us, “Hold the line, Patriots.”
I believe that’s because he knows the bigger picture... the “hidden fences.”
He knows they’re trapping themselves where they cannot escape.
We WILL win because God is with us. #GodWins #LoveWins

As for the WWII 101st Airborne Paratrooper... he just recently jumped again. Once a bad ass always a bad ass. 
And, when he was shown a book with that picture I posted of Americans marching into Bastogne... he wrote this:
