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."

She said not a word about the genocidal incitement and Jew-hatred
that appears frequently on “Palestinian” television and is often by
“Palestinian” Muslim clerics (and other Muslim clerics as well). Islamic
jihadis and apologists for jihad terror always blame their victims for their own violence and cruelty. They never take responsibility for their own actions.
That is bad enough, but even worse is the fact that Western
non-Muslims constantly fall for this grievance propaganda, and assume
that if they change their behavior in some way, the jihadis will be
mollified and peace will ensue. In this case, Tlaib is likely banking on
just that: that her Leftist allies will step up their agitation against
the alleged Israeli “occupation” in response to the murder of Rina. She
knows they will never say the slightest peep against jihad terrorism,
which they assume is entirely the fault of two non-Muslim entities,
Israel and the U.S.
This is absolutely tragic & horrible. My
heart goes out to Rina's family. More than ever we need to support
nonviolent approaches to ending the Israeli occupation and guaranteeing
equal rights for all. Extremism that puts innocent lives at risk moves
us no closer to peace. https://t.co/lQ4qrYf6ig
