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."
Iraq: former Miss Baghdad shot dead for violating Sharia modesty rules
Monday, October 01, 2018
Jihad Watch : The Sharia culture of misogyny which dictates that women are
inferiors and must hide their bodies and any display of overt femininity
once again takes an innocent victim:
Iraqi social media star and model Tara Fares has been
shot dead in Baghdad….The former Miss Baghdad, and first runner-up for
Miss Iraq, was killed on Thursday after gunmen opened fire on her
Tara was a Christian and “famous for her bold clothing and posts on
social media.” Those attributes sealed her fate, along with that of
other women in her country who fly in the face of the Sharia, such as
the human rights activist, Suaad al-Ali, who “was shot and killed in an
outdoor market by an unknown gunman” two days before.
Last month, “two
well-known women in Baghdad’s beauty industry” were also murdered:
Rafeef al-Yaseri, known as the “Barbie of Iraq,” and Rasha al-Hassan —
owner of a beauty center — who was found mysteriously dead inside her
home. Now the government is ordering a so-called “investigation” in the
face of these highly publicized deaths.
Nothing will likely come of it,
since the deaths are tied to the larger problem of Sharia intolerance
against any semblance of autonomous female identity. “Social media star, a former ‘Miss Baghdad,’ shot dead,” by Eliza Mackintosh, Mohammed Tawfeeq and Hamdi Alkhshali, CNN, September 29, 2018:
