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."
Jihad Watch : In response to the Richard Dawkins “Allahu akbar” controversy,
Saudi-funded Georgetown University’s “Islamophobia” propaganda mill, the
Bridge Initiative, has claimed that the phrase “Allahu akbar” has been
“co-opted by anti-Muslim activists”:
The “factsheet” (in reality a deception sheet) that Bridge Initiative
linked contains numerous false claims, including: “The phrase is
‘recited by Muslims and Arabic speaking Orthodox Christians as an
expression of their faith.'” Although there are quotation marks in the
Bridge “factsheet,” there is no indication of who is being quoted, and
whoever is being quoted is a liar.
I was in close, daily contact with
Arabic-speaking Christians, including Orthodox Christians, for nearly
two decades, and not only do they not repeat the phrase “Allahu akbar,”
they recoil at it. Why do they recoil at it? Here are two news stories just from today:
And that’s just going back two months. I could go on and present
hundreds of examples of Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” while
committing acts of violence against non-Muslims. But for the Bridge
Initiative, the problem is not those Muslims. For them, the problem is
the non-Muslims who dare to point out the obvious connection between “Allahu akbar” and violence. They’ve “co-opted” the phrase, and are
“anti-Muslim,” you see.
As far as the Bridge Initiative is concerned, if non-Muslims would
stop reporting on how violent Muslims scream “Allahu akbar,” all would
be well. The problem is not the reporting, not the stack of dead bodies.
If I had a college-age daughter, I would no more send her to
Georgetown University than I send her to work in a whorehouse in Buenos
Aires.
