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."
Turkish PM Erdogan: Territories of Balkan countries belong to Turkey
Tuesday, December 17, 2013
From Jihad Watch : Increasingly open neo-Ottoman imperialism from Erdogan, as Turkey
rapidly re-Islamizes. "Turkish PM says territories of Balkan countries
belong to Turkey (ROUNDUP)," from FOCUS News Agency, December 11 (from The Religion of Peace):
Skopje. Greece rose to its feet as it reacted to comments
made by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan that the Turkish
territory included the Greek part of Thrace, parts of Macedonia,
Bulgaria and Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonian Utrinski Vesnik
announced.
“Thrace is Thessaloniki but at the same time it is Komotini and
Xanthi,” Mr Erdogan said during a speech delivered as part of the
campaign for next year’s local elections.
“It is also Kardzhali [in Bulgaria] and the Vardar River. Going further back, it is Skopje, Pristina and Sarajevo.” Greece considered this statement anything else, but an expression of
friendly attitude of a neighbouring country that Greece made attempts to
overcome problems and establish partnership with.
“The Turkish PM tries to expand the Turkish conquests and claims
concerning the Balkans,” Tanea.gr informed, while Imerisia.gr wrote:
“Erdogan is incredible – Thessaloniki also belongs to Thrace”.
