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."
At the end of May of this year, British Foreign Minister William
Hague made a statement that "Europe is losing its patience." There are
quite a few reasons for Secretary Hague to have made such a statement:
In Britain a soldier was beheaded in the street, and in France a
soldier was murdered. Both attacks seem to be hate crimes of Muslims
against Christians.
60,000 British women were genitally mutilated due to a ritual practiced by Muslims, and 20,000 more are in immediate danger of being forced to undergo this procedure.
In Egypt, the original inhabitants of the country, Christian Copts, are being hunted down by the Muslims.
In Syria, the level of atrocities has reached a new high as chemical
weapons have been deployed. The death toll in the civil war is
approaching 100,000.
In Saudi Arabia, women are discriminated against and a culture of women as sex slaves is flourishing.
An important Palestinian Authority figure, Jibril Rajoub, has just
said that Palestinians, if they could, would nuke Israel. No
condemnation or rebuff of his statements was heard from any Palestinian
politician.
Mauritania still has slaves; Indonesia still canes people; Iran
hangs homosexuals from cranes; Turkey has more journalists in prison
than any other country, including Iran and North Korea; Saudi Arabia
denies women freedom of movement; does not allow Bibles into the
country; and there is no equal justice under law, property rights, free
speech, free press, or free worship.
In Britain and across Europe, Israeli and Jewish speakers, Jewish
students or just plain Jews are routinely attacked by what can be
described as the new "Brown Shirts" of Europe (and occasionally also in
and American and Canadian Universities). Continued here......
