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."
And Hamas-linked CAIR’s Hasan Shibly is peddling snake oil about how
Muthana wants to come back to keep other Muslims from making the same
mistake she did. She would “deradicalize” others, you see.
Deradicalization programs, upon which the West has placed so much
hope, have long been an obvious failure. Such programs are based on the
premise that the true teachings of Islam are peaceful, and so all that
needs to be done is show the jihadis how they’re misunderstanding the
Qur’an and overlooking its teachings of peace, and all will be well. But
since the Qur’an and Sunnah are full of commands to make war against
and subjugate unbelievers, the idea that jihadis can be “deradicalized”
by reference to them is just a myth told to Infidel authorities to lull
them into complacency.
Well, let’s see. Deradicalization programs have been implemented
elsewhere, notably in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. Let’s look at how they
fared. From the Jihad Watch archives:
“Hoda Muthana wants to help US deradicalise others, says her family’s
lawyer Hassan Shibly,” by Martin Chulov and Victoria Bekiempis, the
Guardian, reprinted at CAIR Florida, February 19, 2019:
