Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti. And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.
Mary McHugh At The Grave Of Her Finance, James John Regan, On Memorial Day, Arlington National Cemetery
Rama and Lakshmana come upon the dying Jatayu, King of Birds. Rama embraces Jatayu to His Heart. The great eagle warrior had tried to prevent Ravana from abducting Sita, Rama’s wife. Jatayu struck Ravana repeatedly with his wings until, finally, Ravana sliced them off. As reward for his self-sacrifice defending Dharma, proper conduct, Jatayu dies with eyes and ears fixed on the beautiful Lord Rama. At the moment of his death, Jatayu merges in Lord Rama. The Merciful Lord, Almighty God, takes to Himself as His own, each and every warrior — regardless their side in a fight — who sacrifices their own life to protect Dharma.

Principle I
The United States have no authority in the domestic affairs of other countries and expect other countries to reciprocate by not feigning authority in our domestic affairs. The United States have interest in the lines of communication running between The United States and all other countries and expect all other countries to bear fairly the burden of keeping those lines open, safe, reliable, fair, and clean.
Principle II
The United States welcome partnership with our brother nations India and Russia for promulgation, from their perspectives, of the ground of statecraft set forth in Principle I and urge Japan and Egypt to join us for that endeavor and commitment.
Principle III
An order to deploy which lacks or frustrates intent to compel a target to sign a declaration of unconditional surrender is an unlawful order by the Rules of Just War, the Conventions of War, Common Sense, and the Spirit of America. An order to deploy conveys this intent to the Commanding Officer: win this war / battle in a timely manner at the lowest possible cost to yourself and your enemy or do not come back alive.
