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's suicidal and politically correct judge - Australian judge to jury in jihadi’s trial: “Islam is not on trial here”
Thursday, May 12, 2016
The fundamental assumption that Islam is benign and that bringing large
numbers of Muslims into the country is risk-free and entirely beneficial
must not be questioned, even in the trial of a would-be jihad mass
murderer who was clearly acting in the name of Islam and in accord with
its teachings. The West collectively seems bent on committing suicide.
“‘Islam not on trial here,’ judge tells jury as ‘would-be firebomber’ Adnan Karabegovic fronts court,” The Age, May 9, 2016 : A judge has warned a Supreme Court jury that a man
accused of discussing making a bomb to start a bushfire as part of a
terrorist plot was the one on trial, not Islam.
Justice John Dixon on Monday said the jury had a duty to decide the
case against Adnan Karabegovic on the evidence and nothing more. “In particular, you should dismiss any feeling of sympathy or
prejudice that you may have, whether it is sympathy for or prejudice
against the accused or anyone else,” Justice Dixon said. “Most importantly, religion, particularly Islam, is not on trial here.”
Mr Karabegovic has pleaded not guilty to one count of possessing the
al-Qaeda magazine, Inspire, “connected with assistance in a terrorist
act”. Justice Dixon told the jury that Mr Karabegovic was living with his
wife in Officer at the time, and the offence he faced involved “an
offence of terrorism created by the Commonwealth criminal code”.
