“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."
“Slaughter the Jews” chanted at recent anti-Israel rally attended by local leftist politicians. The news of the week is that Sweden faces “collapse” from the
unrestricted flow of migrants, as the Swedish foreign minister Margot
Wallström recently acknowledged in an interview:
“I have to admit that there have been moments recently of
very great disappointment. I have heard statements from member states
that have been completely astonishing and very discouraging,” Wallström
said in the interview which was published on Friday morning.
An unprecedented number of people are expected to seek asylum in the
Nordic nation in 2015 and while Prime Minister Stefan Löfven has widely
praised his country’s response to the crisis he has said that Sweden is
“approaching the limit” of its reception capacity.
“I think most people feel that we cannot maintain a system where
perhaps 190,000 people will arrive every year – in the long run, our
system will collapse.
And that welcome is not going to receive popular
support,” said Wallström, echoing her Social Democrat colleague’s
comments.
