“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."
Jihad Watch : The draft law speaks only about criticizing “religion,” but everyone
knows which religion is meant. No one is going to go to prison for
criticizing Christianity or Judaism. This is more of Britain’s gallop
toward Sharia and ruin.
“UK Proposes Six Year Prison Sentences for Online Posts Against Religion, Transgender,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, May 10, 2018:
People promoting “hostility” towards a religion or the
transgendered online could get much harsher sentences, of up to six
years in jail, especial if they have a large online audience according
to new proposals. The Sentencing Council for England and Wales has drafted changes
to public order offences, including anyone perceived as targeting
online a “protected characteristics” including “race; sex; disability;
age; sexual orientation; religion or belief; pregnancy and maternity;
and gender reassignment.”
The most severe punishments will be handed to those “in a position of
trust, authority or influence and abuses their position to stir up
hatred,” such as political leaders or figureheads and anyone whose
offences are “persistent.” If an “offender was a member of, or was associated with, a group
promoting hostility based on race or religion,” their sentence will also
be harsher.
The Sentencing Council believes that the use of social media,
YouTube, and other “websites” to stir hatred is a growing problem –
despite the number of prosecutions remain relatively low. “Volumes of these offences are extremely low and there have been no
offenders sentenced for some offences,” the Sentencing Council said. “However, given the recent social climate and an enhanced focus on
this type of offending, the council considers it would be useful for
sentencers to be equipped with guidance on sentencing these offences,”
they continue. Adding: “Among the cases analysed there were a number of ‘hate
speech’ type offences, where inflammatory speeches were given by
influential figures with the intention of stirring up racial hatred.
“Other cases involved publication on YouTube of content inciting
serious violence towards particular racial or religious groups, websites
being published including abusive and insulting content, with some
activity continuing over a long period of time and intended to reach
global audiences.”
