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 going into the toilet: Wife-Beater to Judge: It's 'Good' Where I Come From
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
A Melbourne man who bound, gagged and repeatedly struck his wife with
a piece of garden hose - and also shaved off her hair - has voluntarily
bought a one-way ticket out of Australia. Raidh Janabi said he had respect for Australia and its laws,
but 27 months since beating her he has declared: ''I'm not going to stay
here anymore. (I'll) feel better when I go far (away).'' But his departure will be delayed until he serves the next
two years in a Victorian prison for recklessly causing serious injury to
his now former wife.
The "Hero" actually an arsehole of a Camel Jockey (left) Judge Damian Murphy on Tuesday "totally condemned" Janabi's
conduct which he described as designed to humiliate her and, by cutting
her hair, intended to "restrict her ability to socialise".
Advertisement In his sentencing in the County Court, Judge Murphy said he
agreed with Janabi, 53, who described his offence as "twenty minutes of
madness" and that the attack showed "high-handed disregard" for the
integrity if her body and the path she had chosen for her own life.
Fairfax Media has previously reported that he injured his wife of 22
years on February 27, 2011, at their home because he thought she had
been unfaithful. Prosecutor Kevin Doyle said the Baghdad-born Janabi entered
her bedroom as she was straightening her hair, grabbed it and lifted her
off the ground. Mr Doyle said Janabi verbally abused her, taped her wrists
together - and later her feet - as she struggled and tried to kick him
and ''balled'' a shirt into her mouth and taped it. Continue to the whole piece here......
