helicopter pilot and they said that he was leading actually leading a brigade himself personally a battalion and that he himself was going to fly some bombing missions against isis in iraq and syria now whether that actually happened or not that is the rumor that they let get out there they don't want to let you know for sure because some people are saying well the king doesn't want some people to think that he's jeopardizing his kingdom over maybe getting killed in battle but this act of leadership of of a head of state a king the leader of a country actually willing to suit up and go to battle has really awakened and revealed in people across the world this vacuum of leadership that's there this emptiness that there's not really any real leaders anymore leaders a true leader is willing to lay down his life for the sheep a real leader is willing to lead from the front line and not from behind you know obama's thing is we're going to america is going to lead from behind no that's what a coward does right i hear people talking about oh wow king abdullah of jordan they're calling him the warrior king all right and then i see people people have commented on my facebook when i put the stuff up about him and they commented on my facebook and said you know we wish we had a president like this a president like that was in the movie you know air force one when harrison ford was willing to fight and and then you had they said like the movie independence day when you know the president was willing to as a combat uh pilot and was willing to get in the plane himself and fly see people are hungry for real leadership real leadership will do what they're asking others to do that's why i love the movie we were soldiers in the story of colonel hal moore who lives here in auburn you know because he made the statements you know my foot will be the first on the battlefield and it will be the last to leave and i will leave no one behind dead or alive and that's the kind of leader men will follow into hell and die for they'll do anything for a a man that will really lead what is dangerous about because you know let's let's back up because we know what we've had is politicians we haven't had leaders for many years now we've had people who play both sides of the fence who are in it for themselves or have the agenda of the wicked but i really believe that honestly king abdullah's anger is genuine
