“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."
Pentagon severs all ties with SPLC, after using group’s training materials on “extremism”
Wednesday, October 04, 2017
This is most welcome and long overdue.
The SPLC’s training materials
on “extremism” wouldn’t point the Defense Department toward jihad
terrorists and Sharia supremacists, but toward foes of jihad terror and
others that the SPLC classifies as “extremists” along with the likes of
the KKK and neo-Nazis. This hard-Left moneymaking and incitement machine’s latest
dossier on “Islamophobes” says: “Before you book a spokesperson from an
anti-Muslim extremist group or quote them in a story, research their
background — detailed in this in-depth guide to 15 of the most visible
anti-Muslim activists — and consider the consequences of giving them a
platform.”
The SPLC wishes to silence
those who speak honestly about the nature and magnitude of the jihad
threat, blaming us for a supposed rise in “Islamophobia.” If they really
want to stamp out suspicion of Islam, of course, they will move against
not us, but the likes of Omar Mateen, Syed Rizwan Farook, Tashfeen
Malik, Nidal Malik Hasan, Mohammed Abdulazeez, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and
the myriad other Muslims who commit violence in the name of Islam and
justify it by reference to Islamic teachings.
The SPLC doesn’t do that because its
objective is not really to stop “Islamophobia” at all, but to create the
illusion of a powerful and moneyed network of “Islamophobes” whom can
only be stopped if you write a check to the SPLC. That’s what this is
really all about. It’s scandalous that the Pentagon ever took this
seriously, and good that it has stopped.
