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 : Shabir Ahmed “claimed his convictions were a police and ‘far right’ conspiracy to ‘scapegoat’ Muslims.” Oddly enough, this time that defense didn’t work. "BANISHED: Pakistani Grooming Gang Rapists Lose British Citizenship,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, August 8, 2018:
Three rapists from the Rochdale child grooming gang will
be stripped of British citizenship after a top judge branded their
predatory attacks “serious organised crime”. Three years ago Theresa May, then Home Secretary, decided that Abdul
Aziz, 47, Adil Khan, 48, and Abdul Rauf, 48, should lose their British
passports because of their crimes and the fact they are also citizens of
Pakistan.
Before their imprisonment, the trio worked as taxi drivers, with Rauf
also acting as a Muslim preacher. They lost an appeal against the
decision this Wednesday after being initially jailed at a trial in 2012. All had been found guilty of conspiracy to engage in sexual activity
with children under the age of 16 and trafficking for sexual
exploitation at trial.
During the appeal, they argued their “human rights” would be violated
if they were deported as they have children in the United Kingdom. However, senior judges at the Court of Appeal have now agreed with
the Home Office that taking their citizenship away would be “conducive
to the public good,” the Manchester Evening Newsreports. Lord Justice Sales said that “they were motivated by lust and greed”
and that Mrs May’s decision to have them deported was “reasonably open
to her.”
“The crimes were plainly very serious and there was a sufficient
element of organisation in the way they were committed to justify
characterising the offending as participation in serious organised
crime,” he added. Gang ringleader Shabir Ahmed, 64, lost a separate appeal
against deportation in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in
2016, when he claimed his convictions were a police and “far right”
conspiracy to “scapegoat” Muslims.
The Rochdale gang to which they belonged was convicted of preying on
vulnerable girls as young as 13 in the northern town, plying them with
drink and drugs before they were “passed around” for sex….
“All the men treated the girls as though they were worthless and beyond all respect”, he added.
