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."
Cops foil terrorist plot to attack non-Muslim houses of worship

Weapons for killings - 1 Indon, 2 Rohingya and 1 Malaysian
Malaysiakini : Four men linked to an Islamic State 'wolf pack' cell were
arrested during the first week of Ramadan in connection with a plot to
attack non-Muslim places of worship and entertainment centres around
Kuala Lumpur.
Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador said
the four were also plotting to assassinate several "high-profile"
individuals accused of failing to uphold Islam and insulting the
religion. The men, aged between 20 and 49, comprise a Malaysian
who is alleged to be the leader of the group, two Rohingya, and one
Indonesian.
Hamid (photo) told a press conference in Bukit
Aman today that the group had plotted the attacks to seek "revenge" over
the death of firefighter Mohamad Adib Mohd Kassim in the wake of the
Seafield Sri Mahariamman Temple riots last November.
"The
arrests also led to the seizure of a CZ 9mm pistol, 15 bullets and six
improvised explosive devices, each approximately 18cm in length,
smuggled in from a neighbouring country and intended for use in the
planned attacks," he said.
According to Hamid, Bukit Aman's
Counter-terrorism Unit had detected the cell earlier this month, and
arrested the four men between May 5 and May 7 in Terengganu, Kuala
Lumpur and Selangor. When quizzed about the identities of
the high-profile individuals targeted by the group, Abdul Hamid replied
that the information was "too sensitive for me to reveal".
