A Platoon Leader and a Rabbi

   
   "A Platoon Leader and a Rabbi"
  
   You can learn a lot from a dummy, buckle your buckwheat, or get hopping.  Many a Lieutenant has gotten enlisted men slayed.  "Elias is  a water-walker Lieutenant."  Thank God for cinema, and the truth contained within.  
   Christ, a mere tradesman, scolded, and harshly, many a Rabbi of His time.  "Your father is the devil.  The father of lies and murder."  Too, He rebuked the sin of sinners, even though He healed them.  "And sin no more, or worse things will happen."  
   But He didn't allow anybody to question His Heart, more or less.  A conscience can be cluttered by a sub-conscious that has swallowed  a swamp of doubt; on the contrary, Young's "Heart of Gold" is waxing golden--never grows old, if always beating for truth, justice, and kinda/sorta--the American Way, way back then, and here now--in some places.
   Don't let them put you down if you're only playing the part.  A student is not above his teacher, in an institutional sense; however, many teachers have dirty hands themselves, and don't want the student to surpass or outshine them--the selfish schmucks.
   So, get on with your Jesus.  If you're aligned with Him, run your mouth and wax on and off with your hands, in a clean direction.  And when the dirt arrives, vacuum it up with a blood made bold by a bodacious God.  He knows.  Not them.  He and you know.  Not them.  Never them.  That's just the Bravo Sierra they tell you.  Trust old Jack Burton.
