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."
German investigators: “No indication” Muslim who screamed “Allahu akbar” while killing man had “Islamic extremist motive”
Tuesday, May 10, 2016
“Bavaria’s top security official later said investigators had no
indication so far that the suspect in the attack at the Grafing Bahnhof
station…had an Islamic extremist motive.
Interior Minister Joachim
Herrmann said the suspect apparently had psychological problems and drug
issues.” There is no doubt that many Nazi concentration camp guards had
psychological problems and drug issues.
Did this mean that Auschwitz had
nothing to do with Nazi Germany? Once again we see, in the wake of this jihad attack, the overriding
imperative of the political and media elites: not to inform or protect
the public, but to make sure that the public doesn’t think ill of Islam.
“Germany: 1 dead, 3 wounded in stabbing at train station,” by Matthias Schrader, Associated Press, May 10, 2016 :
GRAFING, Germany (AP) — A German man was arrested after
several people were stabbed at a train station near Munich early
Tuesday, authorities said. One victim died in a hospital and three other
people were wounded.
The assailant made “politically motivated comments” as he attacked,
Ken Heidenreich, spokesman for the Munich prosecutor’s office in charge
of the case, told The Associated Press. He said his office was
investigating witness reports that he yelled “Allahu akbar,” Arabic for
“God is great.”
However, Bavaria’s top security official later said investigators had
no indication so far that the suspect in the attack at the Grafing
Bahnhof station, around 30 kilometers (nearly 20 miles) east of Munich,
had an Islamic extremist motive. Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said the suspect apparently had
psychological problems and drug issues, news agency dpa reported. Heidenreich said that the suspect is a 27-year-old German citizen, with a German-sounding name….
