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."
“In Saudi Arabia it’s the Wahabi school of thought…and they say, ‘We’re
gonna give you our money, then we want you to…prefer our school of
thought.’ That’s in there whether they say it or not. So there is a
problem receiving gifts that seem to have no attachment, no strings
attached.” “Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.” — Hillary Clinton“The Clinton Foundation…disclosed in 2008 that it had accepted up to
US$25 million from the Saudi Kingdom in the same year. Other foreign

…Saudi Arabia has paid more than 20 percent of the cost
of Hillary Clinton’s campaign for presidential elections, Saudi Deputy
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was quoted as saying Sunday in a news
report by the Jordanian Petra News Agency. According to the Middle East Eye news website, the report was later
deleted from the agency’s website.
However, a snapshot of the original
Arabic version was later republished by the Washington-based Institute
for Gulf Affairs. “Saudi Arabia has always sponsored both Republican and Democratic
Parties of America and… the kingdom also provides with full enthusiasm
20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clinton’s campaign in the U.S.
presidential elections despite the fact that some influential forces
within the country don’t have a positive look toward supporting the
candidate because she is a woman,” the agency’s report quoted Prince
Mohammed as saying….
The Clinton Foundation, which is chaired by both Hillary and her
husband Bill Clinton, disclosed in 2008 that it had accepted up to US$25
million from the Saudi Kingdom in the same year. Other foreign governments who have donated money to the Clintons
