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."
Muslims Threaten Lawyer for Defending Christian Sexual Harassment Victims
Thursday, June 27, 2013
PATTOKI, PAKISTAN (Worthy News)–
The chief lawyer defending Christian women who were reportedly sexually
abused by activists of Pakistan's ruling party said Monday, June 24,
that Muslim militants have threatened to kill him if he and his legal
team continue with this case or others, including attacks on a Christian
neighborhood and rape.
Sardar Mushtag Gill, who heads the Legal Evangelical Association
Development (LEAD) group, told Worthy News that he and a friend were
"forcibly stopped at gunpoint by three armed men" Sunday, June 23, while
driving home on a motorbike after meeting the mistreated women and
their family in Sereser Chak No. 21 village, in the Kasur district of
Punjab province.
"After we were stopped at Bypass Multan road they threatened to kill
us while shooting in the air," Gill recalled. "I am confused that they
didn't tell anything else…They just terrified us by their [potentially]
deadly act", he added. Gill, 32, said he had spoken with the recently attacked Christians
about presenting a petition on June 24 asking the nearby Pattoki Court
to detain the suspects, who have been linked to the governing Pakistan
Muslim League-N (PML-N).
He explained that sisters Arshad Bibi, Sajida Bibi and Sauriya Bibi,
were abused by armed men and an influential landlord because goats owned
by the women allegedly entered the landlord’s fields and damaged crops. Continue here to the article in full....
