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."
Captured Islamic State jihadi begs for death so he can get to Paradise on time
Saturday, May 14, 2016
Imagine his disappointment. But this indicates yet again how Islamic
State jihadis are guided and motivated entirely by Islamic texts and
teachings. “Antsy ISIS militant orders his own killing so he can get to heaven on time,” Fox News, May 13, 2016:
An Islamic State fighter captured in Iraq last week
reportedly begged Kurdish troops to kill him right away because he
didn’t want to be late for a 4 p.m. religious ceremony in heaven. Kurdish Peshmerga forces captured the militant after he and 49 others
were sent out by ISIS for a suicide bombing attack in the Christian
town of Tel Askuf coinciding with an Islamic holy day, according to The
Clarion Project.
“They were supposed to commit suicide using their suicide belts
because today is the anniversary of the Isra and Mi’iraj celebration,”
Peshmerga Lt. Col. Salim ak-Surji reportedly told the Turkish News
Agency Rudaw. “He told me ‘all of us must be in heaven by 4 p.m., kill me,” the officer said. The day marks Prophet Muhammad’s ascension to heaven to receive instruction form Allah….
