“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."
Mozambique: Muslims murder 13 villagers, destroy over 120 houses, in quest to impose Sharia
Monday, March 18, 2019
Village in Mozambique
Jihad Watch : No Muslims were killed, and so the international media will pay no attention.
“Suspected jihadists kill 13 in northern Mozambique,” Agence France-Presse, March 16, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
At least 13 civilians have died in fresh attacks in
Mozambique’s volatile northern Cabo Delgado province where Islamists
have terrorized villagers in remote communities for more than a year,
local sources said Saturday.
One of the latest attacks occurred on Thursday evening on Ulo village
in Mocimboa da Praia district in which more than 120 houses were
destroyed, the sources said. “Two additional attacks were carried out during the early hours of
(Friday), on the villages of Nabajo and Maculo, killing a total of 13
villagers,” a local resident said….
Last month, a Mozambican worker was killed and six others were
wounded when two road convoys operated by US gas giant Anadarko came
under attack in northern Mozambique…. The jihadists — reportedly seeking to impose Sharia law in the
province — have terrorized remote communities, killing more than 200
people since October 2017
The Islamists belong to a group originally known as Ahlu Sunnah
Wa-Jama — Arabic for “followers of the prophet” — but commonly referred
to by locals and officials as “Al-Shabaab”. It has no known link to the
notorious Al-Shahaab group in Somalia.
