Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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 : The anti-Semitic Congresswoman has hypnotized the Democrats, if not the world.
My latest in PJ Media: Just days ago, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) faced rebuke,
albeit indirectly, from her own party in a resolution condemning
anti-Semitism that had been developed as a response to her repeated
anti-Semitic statements ā including the bizarre and paranoid assertion
that āIsrael has hypnotized the world.ā Today, it is clear that if
anyone has hypnotized the world, or at least the Democrats, it is Omar
herself. She stands victorious as the new master of the Democratic
Party.
Omarās victory is total. The anti-Semitism resolution was turned into
a condemnation of āIslamophobiaā and āwhite supremacism,ā she remains
on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the entire Democratic
leadership has made it clear that they donāt dare cross her.
To be sure, the resolution as it was passed contained a condemnation
of anti-Semitism, and even of accusations of dual loyalty, in which Omar
had indulged when she railed against āthe political influence in this
country that says it is okay to push for allegiance to a foreign
country.ā Nancy Pelosi, however, was quick to insist that the resolution
wasnāt referring to Omar: āI thought the resolution should be largely
issued to anti-Semitism, and Islamophobia, etc., anti-white supremacist,
and that it should not mention her name ā¦ because itās not about her.ā
