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."
9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the wild beast+ and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,+
10 he will also drink of the wine of the anger of God that is poured out undiluted into the cup of His wrath,+ and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur+ in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb.
11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever,+ and day and night they have no rest, those who worship the wild beast and its image and whoever receives the mark of its name.+12 Here is where it calls for endurance on the part of the holy ones,+ those who keep the commandments of God and hold fast to the faith+ of Jesus.”
13 And I heard a voice out of heaven say, “Write: Happy are the dead who die in union with the Lord+ from this time onward. Yes, says the spirit, let them rest from their labors, for the things they did go right* with them.”
Jihad Watch : Christian persecution in Muslim countries is rooted in Islamic
supremacist hate and intolerance of pluralism; it is also rooted in
Islamic doctrine, which divides the world into the House of War (Dar al
Harb) and the House of Islam.
In normative Islam, it is the duty of
Muslims to force disbelievers (the House of War) to become believers or
accept the hegemony of Islamic law (the House of Islam) as a primary
duty. If infidels refuse to become Muslims, then they are relegated to
the inferior status of dhimmitude, and face a range of abuses. In Nigeria, where the persecution of Christians is at alarming levels, local prelates have issued a warning:
The ongoing slaughter of Christians in Nigeria is part of
a “hidden agenda” to convert the nation to Islam, an agenda that
reaches to the highest echelons of the nation’s leadership. Father
Valentine Obinna, a priest of the Aba diocese in Nigeria, told the
online Catholic news outlet Crux that the recent murders of priests and
other Christians are not isolated events but are tied to a long-term
program of the “Islamization of Nigeria.”
Islamization does not stop in Nigeria. It is the plan for the world, in accordance with normative Islam. “Prelates: Nation’s Leaders Seek ‘Islamization of Nigeria,’” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, September 5, 2019:
