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."
Dog row ‘behind murder of man in east London park’
Monday, June 10, 2019
“Devoted”: Steven Kennedy was a missionary who preached in Africa, his neighbour said
Vlad Tepes : A father has lost his fight for life three days after suffering a
serious head injury, reportedly during an argument over a dog in an east
London park.
Detectives launched a murder investigation after Steven Kennedy died on Sunday following an attack in Plaistow Park, half a mile from his home, last Thursday morning.
The 61-year-old was a member of the River Church in Canning Town and
a director of the River Christian Centre, and is understood to have
travelled widely in Africa and eastern Europe to preach as a missionary.
Asim Qadri, who owns the Shop Wise convenience store
near the park’s entrance, said: “I heard there was an argument and
someone pushed or punched him. I saw him being taken out and put in the
ambulance. “He was alive then. He sat up as they were taking him to the ambulance. It’s shocking that he’s died.”
Dave Gill, pastor of River Church, said: “The family and all of us are devastated at this time.” Mohammed Metowlli, 23, of Plaistow, was charged with grievous bodily
harm before Mr Kennedy died. He is due to appear at Snaresbrook crown
court on June 28. A second man, 29, was arrested on suspicion of GBH and
has been released under investigation. Read it all here........................
