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."
NOT so great britain denies visa to Iraqi nun displaced by the Islamic State

Jihad Watch : This makes Britainās priorities clear, if they werenāt clear already.
Pamela Geller and I are banned from entering the country for the crime
of telling the truth about Islam and jihad. Meanwhile, Britain has a steadily lengthening record of admitting jihad preachers without a moment of hesitation.
The Muslim migrant teen who bombed the Tube told border officials that he was trained by ISIS, but was admitted anyway. Syed Muzaffar Shah Qadriās preaching of hatred and jihad violence was
so hardline that he was banned from preaching in Pakistan, but the UK Home Office welcomed him into Britain.
The UK Home Office also admitted
Shaykh Hamza Sodagar into the country, despite the fact that he has
said: āIf thereās homosexual men, the punishment is one of five things.
One ā the easiest one maybe ā chop their head off, thatās the easiest.
Second ā burn them to death. Third ā throw āem off a cliff. Fourth ā
tear down a wall on them so they die under that. Fifth ā a combination
of the above.ā Theresa Mayās relentlessly appeasement-minded government also admitted two jihad preachers who had praised the murderer of a foe of Pakistanās blasphemy laws. One of them was welcomed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Meanwhile, the UK banned three bishops from areas of Iraq and Syria where Christians are persecuted from entering the country. Britain is, as is obvious, finished. āIraqi nun displaced by Islamic State denied UK visa,ā by David V Barrett, Catholic Herald, April 2, 2018:
