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: School allows Muslim students to leave the room to avoid singing the National Anthem - Australia heading into the toilet
Tuesday, October 27, 2015
Jihad Watch : Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School’s slogan is “Many Cultures, One
Community.”
But in reality, they’re not one community at all — not when
they allow Muslim students to opt out of singing the National Anthem.
“But Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School Principal Cheryl Irving stood by
the decision, telling Star News on Tuesday it was made in adherence
with Muharram – the Islamic month of mourning associated with Shi’a
Muslims in which they do not participate in ‘joyful events.'”
Are all
the Muslim students at Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School Shi’ites,
then? Shi’ites are only ten to fifteen percent of Muslims worldwide, so
that’s extremely unlikely. Much more likely is that Cheryl Irving
received complaints from Muslim parents, who told her that singing the
Australian National Anthem was offensive to their religion, and being a
good multiculturalist, readily agreed to allow them to opt out. But what will become of these students in the future?
They have been
taught that they need have no allegiance to Australia, and that Australian authorities allow and respect this.
How will they acquire that allegiance in the future? Does Cheryl Irving
really think that there will be no negative consequences of their
failing to do so? “Kids opt out on anthem,” by Lachlan Moorhead, Cranbourne News, October 21, 2015:
