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."
Cleveland: Muslim plotted jihad mass murder on Fourth of July
Tuesday, July 03, 2018
Jihad Watch : Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion calls
upon him to commit treason and mass murder.
Authorities remain
resolutely incurious about this recurring phenomenon. An update on this story. “FBI details suspected Fourth of July terrorist plot for downtown Cleveland,” by Adam Ferrise and Evan MacDonald, Cleveland.com, July 2, 2018:
CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Maple Heights man plotted to set off a
bomb at the Fourth of July fireworks celebration in downtown Cleveland
in an attempt to “strike at the values at the very core of our nation,”
authorities said. Demetrius N. Pitts, 48, expressed a desire to join al Qaeda and kill
U.S. citizens — including military personnel and their families — as he
told the undercover agent of his plot to conduct a July 4 attack on
Voinovich Park, where the fireworks are set off each year, authorities
said Monday during a news conference announcing Pitts’ arrest.
“Just last week, this defendant was walking around downtown Cleveland
conducting reconnaissance on what he believed was a large-scale
attack,” U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio Justin Herdman
said. “He looked for a place to park a van full of explosives.”
