“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."
Muslim from Minneapolis who joined ISIS wants to return, says he should be forgiven

Abdelhamid Al-Madioum, 22
In a sane world, coming back to the U.S. would be a death sentence for this jihadi. He chose the wrong side in this war, because of his savage, imperialistic religion.
He wanted to see brutal, kafir-hating Islamists prevail. He does not deserve forgiveness — just a quick, humane death. If we cannot bring ourselves to eliminate the enemy, we cannot win this war. Spending millions of dollars to keep this jihadi in prison would be an insane waste of money.
Jihad Watch : “Fifteen years is a very long time for mistakes you made coming to Syria.”
U.S. officials would be foolish to believe him. He is akin to the
Nazis after World War II who claimed that they knew nothing of the
genocide of the Jews, and were only
following orders. But the fact that
believing him would be foolish doesn’t mean that they won’t.
After all,
it isn’t as if Abdelhamid Al-Madioum did something absolutely
unforgivable, such as discuss the roots of jihad violence and Sharia
oppression in Islamic texts and teachings. “US ‘Isis fighter’ locked up in hellhole prison demands he be forgiven and brought home to America,” by Jimmy McCloskey, Metro, September 18, 2019:
