Eagle (Bald Eagle, Bald Eagle)

In 1872, the U.S. Congress decided to designate the eagle as the national bird. The eagle has become the symbol of the United States. Not only is there an eagle on the national emblem, but it is also found everywhere in daily life.

There are hawks and doves in American politics. Hawks are stronger, more ferocious and more aggressive than doves. In the eyes of Americans, the victory in the Iraq War was a victory for the hawks. Therefore, after the United States won the Iraq War, it was not General Franks, the frontline commander, who stole the show, but Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld. He is the leader of the hawks. The American hawks have many supporters in Congress, the business community, and the press, and have a huge support network. In particular, the American arms dealers are the hawks' hardcore backers.

In the United States, the Pentagon is an "Eagle's Nest", and Rumsfeld is an "Eagle" in this "Eagle's Nest". First, he is relatively old, born in 1932. Second, he has relatively senior qualifications. He has served as Secretary of Defense twice, and is unmatched by anyone in the Pentagon. Third, he has been a veteran of politics and the Cold War for a long time, and his hawkish stance did not originate from today. In today's American political arena, Vice President Cheney, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, and former Deputy Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz are known as the "troika" of hawks. These three "eagles" hover over the top of Mount Bush and influence the defense policy and military strategy of the United States today.

To some extent, the United States regards the "eagle" as its national totem. How does a creature like an eagle win the favor of mainstream American society? The eagle is the king of birds, the divine bird, and the symbol of heroes. Going up in a roundabout way, not singing, making a big splash, rushing up the rapids, and fighting fiercely for self-improvement, this is the essence of the eagle's spirit. The spirit of the eagle is not formed by chance, but is formed through hardships.

"Survive by grabbing food when young." Eagles give birth to four or five eaglets at a time. Because their nests are very high, the food they hunt can only be fed to one eaglet at a time. The feeding method of eagles is not based on the principle of equality.

Whoever robs the most ferocious little eagle will eat it. In this case, the thin eagles starve to death without food, while the most ferocious eagles survive. From generation to generation, the eagle family becomes stronger and stronger.

"Transformation and rebirth at the age of 40

". The eagle is the longest-lived bird in the world, with a lifetime of up to 70 years. But few people know that to live such a long life, difficult but important decisions must be made in the middle of life. When an eagle lives to be 40 years old, its talons begin to age and cannot effectively grasp prey; its beak becomes long and curved, and its wings become heavier, making it very difficult to fly. At this time, it has only two choices:

One is to wait

to die; the other is to reorganize and regenerate. Choosing an eagle to regenerate after reorganization has to go through a painful process of renewal. It must first fly hard to the top of the mountain, build a nest on the cliff, and spend 150 long and painful days there. During this period

the long and curved beak must be hit against the rock until it falls off completely, and then the new beak will grow back; Then pluck out the feathers; after new nails grow back, pluck out the feathers one by one.

After new feathers grow, the eagle can soar in the vast sky and continue its life journey for the next 30 years.
