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."
Malaysiakini too, is a leftist rag!! No
mention of Christians being routinely killed around the world. Shame on
the Pakatan Harapan Government, where were you guys when Christians wer
being slaughtered on an Industrial scale in Nigeria, Manchester bombings, Nice attack, attack in Germany and France, massacres all done by Muslims.
Philippines: On Sunday, January 27, Islamic
militants bombed a
Catholic cathedral during Mass. At least
20 people were killed and 111 wounded.
Two explosives were detonated about a minute apart in or near the
Cathedral of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Jolo around 8:45 a.m. According to one report,
“The initial explosion scattered the wooden pews inside the main hall and
blasted window glass panels, and the second bomb hurled human remains and
debris across a town square fronting the cathedral.”
Photos on social media showed
human bodies and remains strewn on the street just outside the cathedral. The officiating priest, Fr. Ricky Bacolcol,
“was still in shock and could not speak about what happened,” to quote a
colleague. After the first bomb
detonated, army troops and police posted outside the cathedral rushed in, at
which point the second bomb went off.
Fifteen of the slain were civilians, five military men; 90 of the
wounded were civilians.
Located in a
Muslim-majority area, the cathedral was heavily guarded as it had been hit
before: grenades were hurled at
it twice in
2010, both times damaging the building; and in 1997, Bishop Benjamin de Jesus
was gunned down just outside the cathedral.
The Islamic State claimed this
most recent attack, adding that the massacre was carried out by “two knights of
martyrdom” against a “crusader temple.”
Egypt: An Islamic terror plot to bomb
a packed Christian church on the evening of January 6, when Coptic Orthodox Christians celebrate
Christmas, was foiled by police.
