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."

Incitement against Saudi Arabia
Jihad Watch : “War is deceit” (Bukhari 4.52.268). Among “Palestinians” it’s a veritable art form. “Tlaib’s Palestinian village is thriving, but she is in denial,” by Akiva Bigman, Israel Hayom, August 21, 2019:
What is it really like to live in the Palestinian village
Beit-Ur al-Fauqa, where Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s grandmother and other
family members live? Are conditions there as bad as she has claimed? If you look at the Facebook profiles of people who actually live
there, you will discover that things are actually not bad at all.
Achiam Tlaib, for example, drives a brand new BMW. On his Facebook
account, you can see that his family lives in a very comfortable
three-story building. Raja Tlaib shared on his Facebook account pictures of himself posing
next to his new Mercedes, wearing an expensive suit. He also has
pictures showing him working out in a gym that has the latest equipment.
Mawaid Tlaib uploaded pictures of his vacations in Italy and other places, and Anas Tlaib has a very expensive Mercedes. Samach Tlaib drives a BMW and Niaf Tlaib drives a Corvette
convertible and uploaded pictures posing next to his new home under
construction, also with three stories. Many of them also have pictures showing them visiting places inside
the Green Line (pre-1967 Israel): Jaffa, Acre, Tel Aviv and so on. So
perhaps all those checkpoints that supposedly make Palestinian life so
miserable are just a myth?
In fact, even the World Bank said in 2014 that the village is one of
the richest in the region. The poverty rate in the village stood at 7.4 %
in 2014, compared to the overall rate of 21% in the Palestinian
Authority. Only a handful of villages have a lower poverty rate in the PA and
employment in the village is also among the lowest in the PA. But
perhaps the most important statistic is this: The rate of social
mobility in Beit-Ur al-Fauqa is among the highest in the PA.
According to a 2017 PA report on the quality of life of Palestinians, the village has 230 households. The report says that 215 structures are considered private residences
and four of them are actually single-family homes, attesting to their
wealth.
More than 115 of the households are in apartments that have 5 bedrooms or more, and 65 of the households have four bedrooms….
