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."
German police foil Muslim jihad plot to use remote controlled aircraft filled with explosives as guided missiles

"German police foil Islamist terror plot to use remote controlled
aircraft filled with explosives as guided missiles," by Allan Hall for
the Daily Mail, June 25
Police in Germany have raided dozens of addresses to foil an Islamist
terror plot intending to use remote controlled model aircraft filled
with explosives to be flown into targets. Armed officers of the specialist G9G units raided homes in Stuttgart,
Munich and Dachau after receiving information that at least one
assassination attempt was being planned using the model planes as guided
missiles. Technical materials and paperwork were seized at several addresses while prosecutors spoke of plans for a 'seditious outrage'.
German intelligence officers have been warning for some time of a
home-grown attack inside the country's borders as more and more
Islamists return from Jihadist training camps in Pakistan ready to
commit terrorist acts. As well as the addresses in southern Germany, an Internet service
provider in the state of Saxony was also raided. At least two men are in
custody and authorities say the operations will continue as more
intelligence is gathered.
No information was given about likely targets or exactly which Jihadist organisation the suspects are affiliated with. One of the addresses raided was at the Olympic Village in Munich,
scene of the 1972 Olympic massacre when fanatics of the Black September
movement stormed the living quarters of Israeli athletes. All eleven
hostages later died in a shootout at Munich Airport. Hat tip: Jihad Watch
