RT @CaVautrin: Le 30 avril 1863, les hommes du capitaine Danjou ont fait de Camerone le symbole des plus hautes vertus militaires. En donnant leur vie pour la réussite de la mission, ils ont fait de la fidélité à la parole donnée la valeur cardinale de la Légion étrangère.
163 ans après, cet esprit demeure.
Très bon Camerone à la grande famille Légion.
Honneur et fidélité.

Ci sono momenti in cui non puoi aspettare.
Devi entrare. Devi agire.
Una segnalazione: quarto piano. Un uomo.
Sotto di lui il vuoto.

I #Carabinieri arrivano subito.
Non c’è tempo per parlare.
C’è solo una porta chiusa. E una vita appesa a un filo.
Entrano. Stanza dopo stanza. Lo trovano.
È già oltre. Il corpo sospeso nel vuoto.
Lo afferrano. Lo tirano dentro.
Pochi secondi, quelli che fanno la differenza tra la vita e il nulla.
E poi una frase del militare: "A posto, in sicurezza".

La #Difesa è anche questo.

RT @SpoxCHN_LinJian: After WWII, as a defeated nation, Japan was required to disarm its military forces and dismantle its war machine. In recent years, however, Japan has been pushing for a more offensive, expansionist, and dangerous defense policy and has torn up its “pacifist” rulebook. The rise of neo-militarism in Japan is posing a real threat to world peace and stability.

Japan’s latest move to reinstate WWII military ranks out of “a sense of honor” is a breach of long-existing rules and will instill a wrong perception. This would also rub salt into the wounds of Japan’s wartime victims. We cannot but ask: Is Japan still indulged in a dream of reviving militarism? What exactly is this “sense of honor” built on?
