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."
How Trump Started a Civil War Between Hamas and a UN Agency

UNRWA
Jihad Watch : Even within the United Nations, a sprawling multinational bureaucracy
linked by luxury dining, corruption and complicity in terrorism, the
UNRWA stands out for waste, corruption and terror.
The UNRWA’s abbreviation leaves out its full title, United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East,
and its heavy focus on Gaza. The UNRWA classifies 1.4 million or 73% of
the people living in Gaza as “refugees” even though it’s an independent
territory run by Hamas.
There are really two UNRWA agencies. One is a UN agency run by a
small number of international staffers. Another is an arm of Hamas which
employs thousands of “Palestinians”. Many if not most of these are
members of Hamas. Some, like Suhail al-Hindi, the former head of the
UNRWA union, who was also a member of Hamas’ leadership, serve in the
upper echelons of the terror group.
While a handful of European UN employees act as the public face of UNRWA, the actual agency is run by Hamas operatives who control its schools, using them to recruit and to store weapons. The union representing UNRWA employees is controlled by Hamas and its employees implement Hamas policies.
Hamas had announced as much when its newspaper responded to a call to fire UNRWA Hamas members by writing,
“Laying off the agency employees because of their political affiliation
means laying off all the employees of the aid agency, because…they are
all members of the ‘resistance.’”
The power struggle between the UN employees and Hamas was tested
before during clashes over the teaching of the Holocaust in UNRWA
schools and the use of UNRWA schools to launch attacks on Israel.
