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."
Video from Pakistan: Muslims open fire on Christians who try to retake their homes that Muslims seized
Tuesday, May 22, 2018
Jihad Watch : The global “human rights community” will take little notice. After all,
it isn’t as if something important, such as “Islamophobia,” had been
committed. “In Punjab, Christians who tried to retake their homes grabbed by Muslims suffer gunshot wounds (video),” by Kamran Chaudhry, Asia News, May 18, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Lahore (AsiaNews) – Two Christians have survived after
they were fired upon by armed men who wanted to prevent them from
regaining possession of their land. The incident occurred yesterday in the village of Sankhatra (Punjab
province), where the Christian community blocked the streets to protest
against the illegal occupation of their properties.
For months they have been unable to go back into their homes because of a land dispute with a politician from the ruling party. The wounded are Shahbaz Masih Gill, 36, and Samina Tasneem, 28. Both
suffered gunshot wounds to the legs and are currently in hospital. The police took their statement and filed a case under the Pakistan
Penal Code, sections 324 (Attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, i.e. murder),
148 (Rioting, armed with deadly weapon), and 149 (Every member of
unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common
object)
The two Christians belong to a group of 30 families threatened by
Muhammad Ismail, a member of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz)
party, who is claiming 1,745 square metres of land adjacent to the Alba
Presbyterian church….
