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."
Shitistan: Muslim mob chases Christians from homes, demanding they convert to Islam
Friday, May 13, 2016
Not that this has anything to do with, uh…this 1,000-strong mob was probably all affected by mental illness — yeah, that’s it. Mental illness. “Muslim lynch mob ‘chases Christians from homes’ demanding they convert to Islam,” by Nick Gutteridge, Express, May 13, 2016:
CHRISTIANS in Pakistan have been driven from their homes
by a lynch mob of Muslim extremists after Imams issued a fatwa against
one of their number over a Facebook video that appeared on his news
feed. The small community of Christians in a remote village were forced to
run for their lives after a crowdof [sic] more than 1000 people gathered
outside their homes and demanded they convert to Islam.
Campaigners say three quarters of the 300-strong population have now
had to flee and are starving in the countryside without food or water,
adding that they are only alive at all thanks to the intervention of
riot police. Meanwhile an Islamic death sentence decree known as a fatwa has been
issued against the young man at the centre of the storm, with Imams
ordering that he be brought before them and burnt alive for insulting
the Koran.
Tensions first boiled over after a Muslim man accused his Christian
friend, who worked as a hospital cleaner, of insulting the Prophet
Mohammed as the pair scrolled through Facebook together at work on April
15. A video, apparently posted by a prominent foreign politician, then
autoplayed on the Christian man’s news feed, sending his Muslim friend
into a fit of hysteria. The situation was exacerbated by the fact that the Christian man, a
25-year-old called Imran Masih, had just told his best pal that he had
fallen in love with a Muslim girl.
