Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Australia jails 5 jihad attack plotters(Sydney) Five wannabe martyrs had their 5 minutes of fame today when an Australian judge sent them down for plotting to kill as many people as possible in their new homeland because they felt that Islam was under attack throughout the world by the US and its allies, including Australia and thus somebody had to pay."
So like good little terrorists everywhere they stockpiled firearms, chemicals and bomb-making instructions, in which to launch an attack on an unknown target.
Unfortunately their dreams of been waited on by buxom virgins and sucking down a cool drink in the afterlife will now be replaced by a reality of themselves waiting on as buxom virgins in the prison showers and that cool drink they are sucking down, that isn't a cool drink anymore...Which is probably why some of them smiled when they received their prison sentences. As usual there are many who feel this is a travesty of justice such as the sister of one of the faithful. "That's a very big sentence -- not even murderers get sentenced that much. Twenty-three years, that's half of his life. It's not fair to him, our community or our religion."
The lawyers for the unnamed wannabe terrorists opined: That there were innocent explanations for much of the material and labeled the case "propagandist." It appears that terrorists always get a bum deal in life, which is why they are ideal candidates for lifers in prison who require somewhere to park their bike for the night.
