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."
Jihad Watch : The violence always begins on the “Palestinian” side, and yet the UN and
world opinion consistently condemn Israel and turn a blind eye to
everything the “Palestinians” do. It’s a manifestation of the
fundamental dishonesty of the public discourse today. “Israeli students violently assaulted in Warsaw by Qatari youths,” by Jeremy Sharon, Jerusalem Post, September 9, 2019:
Several Israeli students in Warsaw on a semester abroad
were violently assaulted in the Polish capital in the early hours of
Saturday morning, allegedly by a group of young men from Qatar,
including two who were hospitalized. The Foreign Ministry confirmed the attack and said that the Israeli consul in Warsaw had addressed the incident.
Yotam Kashpizky and several friends who are in Warsaw within the
framework of their studies at the Rishon Lezion Management College had
been at a night club in the city and left at around 4 a.m. in the early
hours of Saturday morning. As they left, Kashpizky says that a group of young Arab men approached them and started asking if they were Israeli.
Kashpizky told The Jerusalem Post that the men identified themselves
as being from Qatar and started shouting “free Palestine,” “free Gaza”
and “f**k Israel” at the group of Israelis, and when they stated they
were indeed from Israel, the Qatari men began to attack and assault
them…. One of the assailants punched Yotam in the face and he lost
consciousness. He believes the assailant used a knuckle-duster, given
the serious injuries he sustained and the fact that he was knocked
unconscious.
Pictures posted by Kashpizky’s brother on Facebook showed him with a bloodied face and nose, and a closed eye. Kashpizky was taken to hospital and treated for a broken nose and eye
socket and hopes to arrive back in Israel either tomorrow or shortly
thereafter.
The victim described the assault as a “terrorist incident based on
nationalistic motives” and was highly critical of both the by-passers in
the street and night club security personnel, who he said did nothing
to help the Israelis who were being attacked….
