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."
Islamic contributions to their new societies are, as they have been in their own environments for 14 centuries, virtually nil

CHARLOTTE, NC, August 29, 2017 ā Europe had a chance
to solve a problem before it became one. To a lesser degree, so did the
United States. Rather than close the barn door before the horse escaped
however, the West chose to leave it wide open, while, for the most
part, many of our leaders still think it is closed.
Apologize for it or not, Islam is a āreal and present dangerā to our Western way of life. Writing in āThe Quadrant Online,ā Peter Smith accurately notes that āThose who hold to (Islam), however intrinsically peaceful they happen to be, are part of the problem. Apologists and appeasers are also part of the problem.
(emphasis added) Unless things change and the will to fight
rediscovered, it is only a matter of time before we are swept away into
the dustbin of history.ā
Thank you, Angela Merkel and Barack Obama.CNNās Wolf Blitzer, supposedly a media giant who is certainly well paid for his insights, posed the thought that the recent attack in Barcelona might have been a ācopycatā of the violence in Charlottesville.ā
Using that logic, then every terrorist incident since September 11, 2001 could have been dismissed as a ācopycatā of those attacks on the U.S. In other words, hundreds, if not thousands, of terror events, mostly carried out by followers of Islam, were merely ācopiedā; the Bali nightclub, the Boston Marathon, Charlie Hebdo, Londonās bridges, Berlin Christmas Market, Madridās railway station and on and on.
As Muslim populations increase, so too do their ghettos. Other than terrorism, Islamic ghettos are the biggest contribution to Western society. Add in Sharia Law and you have a recipe for disaster. ā
