“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."

"Two girls, mother killed over family video," from Dawn, June 25
GILGIT, June 24: A family video showing two teenage girls enjoying rain
in their house led to their murder in Chilas on Sunday night. Their
mother was also gunned down allegedly by her stepson and his four
friends. Five masked men barged into the house of retired police officer
Rehmat Nabi and started firing, killing his wife and daughters, aged 15
and 16.
According to police, the crime was motivated by a video clip
circulated on mobile phones and showing the girls overjoyed by rain in
the lawn of their bungalow. The video, recorded six months ago, was circulated in the area four
months later probably after a relative sent it to his friends. Police believed that the girls’ stepbrother Khutore took it as an
“assault on the honour of his family” and tried to “restore the family’s
honour” by killing the girls.
Khutore escaped when police tried to get in touch with him for
investigation. But, his four friends were arrested and, according to a
senior police official, they have confessed to the crime. A case has
been registered against the five. Hat tip: Jihad Watch
