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."
Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” tries to murder Israeli on international flight
Wednesday, November 04, 2015
Jihad Watch : “He came up behind my seat and started to choke me with a lot of
force, and at first I couldn’t get my voice out and call for help.
He
hit me over the head with a metal tray and shouted ‘Allah akbar’ and ‘I
will slaughter the Jew.'” Imagine the international outcry if a Muslim had been the victim of
such an attack. But the world will take little notice of this. Islamic
jihad violence and Islamic antisemitism are taken for granted even by
those who insist that Islam is a religion of peace.
“Sudanese citizen tried to kill Israeli on int’l flight,” by Itai Blumenthal, Ynet News, November 3, 2015 : Ethiopian authorities arrested a Sudanese traveler after
he tried to murder an Israeli passenger on an Ethiopian Airlines flight
from Chad to Ethiopia last Thursday, the Ministry of Foreign Affaris
told Ynet on Tuesday.
“We are aware of the event and the Israeli embassy in Addis Ababa has updated us with details,” said ministry representatives. Arik, 54, works in an Israeli communications company that operates in
Africa. He had intended to travel on to Israel after landing in Addis
Ababa. “About 20 minutes before the plane started its descent the passenger
sitting behind me identified me as Israeli and Jewish,” Arik told Ynet.
