Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."

And you thought global warming was the biggest crisis the world faces. My latest in FrontPage: On Tuesday,
a Muslim screaming āAllahu akbarā and āInfidel, you must dieā stabbed
four people, killing one, at a train station near Munich.
Nonetheless,
Bavarian security officials immediately denied
that he āhad an Islamic extremist motive.ā Then what caused the attack?
Bavariaās state interior minister Joachim Herrmann said that the
attacker had āmental disorders.ā
There you are. Nothing to do with Islam here, folks. Donāt go jumping
to conclusions that these stabbings had something to do with Islam just
because he screamed āAllahu akbarā and āInfidel, you must die.ā He was
mentally ill. Thatās all. In fact, we have seen this kind of mental illness in Muslims before:
āāThis is absolutely not an act of terrorism,ā Prosecutor
Marie-Christine Tarrare told reporters during a press conference, adding
that the man had a ālong-lasting and severe psychological disorderā and
had been hospitalised over 150 times since 2002.ā :
