Non Sibi Sed Patriae: A great resource for everyone

"The gods of the valley are not the gods of the hills, and you shall understand it"...Ethan Allen

"We in this room are all men who believe that actions speak louder then words. If I can impart anything from my life as a soldier it is this: There are only two types of warrior in this world. Those that serve tyrants and those that serve free men. I have chosen to serve free men, and if we as warriors serve free men, we must love freedom more than we love our own lives. It is a simple philosophy but one that has served me well in life."

--SFC Stefan Mazak, KIA 18 April 1968, Long Khanh Province, RSV

A great resource for everyone

"I am not a tinfoil wearing, black helicopter watching paranoid type. I am not a member of an organized “militia group” that sits around and bitches about the government and calls every other person Colonel. I do not advocate the overthrow of the US Government, armed insurrection, racism or any illegal activity. I am a member of “the militia” only in the sense that the founding fathers meant it, to include every single able-bodied man." - Webmaster at Every Citizen a Soldier.

...As it should be. We share a common mission and mindset here at Non Sibi Sed Patriae. Please use this resource to help you square your shit away.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than the enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit.

My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other.

Before God I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy.

Non Sibi Sed Patriae -- "Not for self, but for country."

"...But of all the choices you will face, there is none greater than the choice between self ... or selflessness.

Is the benefit for you ... Or, is it for your team? ... Or your patient? ... Or your clinic? ...Or your family?....

Over the chapel doors at the United States Naval Academy is a simple Latin inscription -- Non Sibi Sed Patriae -- "Not for self, but for country." Simple, but powerful.... Selflessness takes time to develop.

Rarely does a man or woman suddenly grow a brain and a spine in the middle of an operating room or on a battlefield.

Likewise, rarely does a person develop a sense of selflessness in a single moment in time. Spontaneous selfless acts rarely happen. Instead, they are built on a strong moral foundation and then carefully layered by doing the right thing ... time and time again.

All of you possess a strong character ... strong morals ... and a strong sense of duty. Let me encourage you to add to those strengths a spirit of selflessness. That spirit is within you now ... draw from it ... use it ... and encourage it from others. Use it to lead ... to build your team ... and to serve those you know and those you know not..."

A message of hope and change...

From Dirty 11 Bravo;

Never in my life have I witnessed someone in office so belligerent to American ideals. We are in unique times where we actually have an overt domestic threat to the Constitution sitting in the White House.

I know many of you are fed up to the point that you're ready make an armed march right into the Oval Office. I fee the same way for the most part, but I also know that there's a time and place for everything, and the time for armed revolt is not yet upon us. I hold little to no aversion to life threatening risk. That's a statement that I can make with the reinforcement of a career in the infantry. Anybody acting right now, will be acting alone however. The best thing anybody can do right now is wait, and observe. We must allow proper peaceful channels for dealing with these kinds of threats to have a bonafide chance at making things right.

I urge all of you to refrain from engaging in violent rhetoric online. Instead devote yourselves to honing your soldiering skills, and mastering your equipment.

If the day arises that we should have to make a stand, we will all do it together. In the mean time let's hope that that day never comes, and our system will successfully purge these domestic terrorists from public office.

Remember, you are not alone in your rage, and desire for resolution. A whopping 74% of the armed services saw right through the lies on Election Day, and for that reason alone I'm confident that our Constitution is staying right where it's at.

I'm proud of the patriotism of all of you, and my heart swelled with joy at the results of the Obama gun stimulus. We now live in the most armed society we have ever seen. I can't express what a comforting thought that is. No federal civilian Army stands a chance against America's patriots.

Stay vigilant, my friends!

The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American ... the unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.--Tench Coxe

“Perhaps the world isn’t the way we wish it would be. We all might wish that evil men could be persuaded from their vile behavior with bleeding heart entreaties, a kiss on the cheek, or proper toilet training. But it ain’t that way, folks, Pacifism is a sickness, an actual moral perversity, and dangerous when its effects spread to anyone else beside the pacifist. You may choose to walk to the cattle car, but damn you if you let your children be led up the ramp. You must never allow any group or government to steal your right to exercise armed lethal force in a just situation.”-- Kirby Ferris

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."

— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

"I find Marxism to be a vapid and ultimately, infantile, view of the world that has one sole interest – to invest a self-selected nomeklatura with the means to ideologically and morally justify the creation of a prison state. To stamp out individual volition and embrace the culture of the ant and the bee. To ensure that harmony is struck no matter what the human cost. Absent violence and mass privation, Marxism in the world of humanity simply does not ring true to both its ambitions and the fruit of its practice. Marxism is, at bottom, a death cult.

--Bill Bupert

"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves."-- Henry David Thoreau

“Any single man must judge for himself whether circumstances warrant obedience or resistance to the commands of the civil magistrate; we are all qualified, entitled, and morally obliged to evaluate the conduct of our rulers. This political judgment, moreover, is not simply or primarily a right, but like self-preservation, a duty to God. As such it is a judgment that men cannot part with according to the God of Nature. It is the first and foremost of our inalienable rights without which we can preserve no other.”-– John Locke (1632-1704)
