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."
Is It Worse to Be a “Global Threat” with Fascist Links or a “Stone Cold Loser”?
Saturday, June 15, 2019

Jihad Watch : When Donald Trump described London Mayor Sadiq Khan as a “stone cold
loser,” this was dutifully reported as an unprovoked attack by our
unhinged president. What the mainstream media often failed to mention
was that Sadiq Khan and Donald Trump have a history of exchanging
insults, and that the current exchange was begun by Sadiq Khan.
Khan has not always been accurate in his charges. Just before Trump’s first state visit to the U.K., Sadiq Khan
published in The Observer on June 2 an article in which he described
Trump as “one of the most egregious examples of a growing global
threat.” He added that Trump’s “divisive behavior flies in the face of
the ideals America was founded upon — equality, liberty and religious
freedom.”
How does Trump’s ‘“divisive behavior” fly in the face of these
ideas? When has Trump threatened either “equally” or “liberty” in
America? We know that Sadiq Khan is thinking of Muslims in the U.S., and
perhaps believes the CAIR-promoted tales of victimhood, but Trump, who
is rightly worried about Muslim terrorism, has not in any way restricted
the “religious freedom” of Muslims.
Perhaps Sadiq Khan would care to
supply us with a single example of how his behavior “flies in the face
of religious freedom”? Did Trump shut down a single mosque, censor a
single verse in the Qur’an, prevent the observance of Ramadan or of
Friday Prayers? He hasn’t done a single thing, not one jot or tittle, to
restrict Muslims in the free exercise of their religion. Sadiq Khan
should know this. But in his haste to score points against Trump, he did
not bother to inform himself properly. He deplored the so-called
“Muslim ban” thus:
“I think this ban on people from seven
Muslim-majority countries” is cruel and shameful. Khan had simply
assumed they were all Muslim-majority countries, when two of the seven,
Venezuela and North Korea, were non-Muslim. One minute of Internet
searching was all he needed to discover the truth.
