Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup) (marine cornel) YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH ?.Son, we live a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have that luxury of not knowing what I know. And that my existence as grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know down deep in places you don't want to talk about, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like HONOR, CODE, and LOYALTY. We use these words as the very backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide. I prefer you to just say thank you and go on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a crap what you think you are entitled to!" (end of scene)
You will not be able to find more honorable, loyal and mentally strong people on this earth than a United States Marine. Their very COR values of why they exist stands on a firm foundation of; Honor, Loyalty and Strength. If you want anyone on your side and on top of that wall it would be a Marine. No matter what the mission it's the marines that are the first ones in and the last ones to leave. If you happen to ask any marine why they do what they do? All of them would say, "It's not about politics, pride, or pillage." They would say, "It's about the man standing beside me every day in battle. They are the ones I do it for."
Years ago we lived in a world with fewer choices, not as many worries and words spoken with more encouragement and meaning behind them. And with that came Honor in what we had, Truth in the words we used and Loyalty to the ones we loved. Today we live in a world full of businesses, stress of unbearable proportions, and words sugar coated in order to please everyone including "Barney" the dog. Today we live in a world where pride in our values, love for our creator, and words of love for others are all but spoken behind closed doors.
"A few good men that's all. A few good people who will honor me when the good times roll. A few that will stand on that wall for truth conveyed through biblical code. And just give me a few that will be loyal to the end through times of adversity." That is what Jesus says and wants from us today.
You will not be able to find a more honorable, loyal and mentally strong person in the entire universe than in Jesus Christ. His very CORE values of why we exist stands on a firm foundation of; Honor and love to his father, code in the truth of his word, and loyalty to us in his promises of his returning. If you want anyone on your side and on top of that wall it would be a man whom has already given his life and that is Jesus Christ. No matter what each one of our mission's are in life or what war we are fighting with the devil, it's Jesus who is the first one by our side and the last one to leave. And I bet if you asked Jesus today why did he do it? Why did you lay down your life for us, he would say the same, "It's not about politics, pride or pillage, it's about love for those standing on that wall for me. It's about love for those speaking the truth on my behalf and it's for those loyal to me to the very end. That's why I did it, I did it for love.
Today, God is saying to all of us "All I want are a few good men." Is Jesus speaking to your heart today? This week you may do battle; you may not be given credit for something you deserve, the devil may place doubt in your mind about gods word or someone close to you betrays or is disloyal to you. Stand tall on top of that wall, be willing to speak the truth in Love and be willing to go the extra mile out of loyalty. It will be then you will hear him say in heaven well done good a faithful soldier.
Never forget we are at war not only with terrorism but with the devil. He wants our hearts and minds. However, let us remind him to that we have Jesus on the wall for us, we have Jesus on our side to fight each battle we face. This week may bring you a battle or two but just remember our battle has already been fought for us through the blood shed on Calvary.
