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."
Switzerland: Citizenship revoked of Muslim convicted of recruiting jihad fighters for Islamic State
Saturday, September 14, 2019
Switzerland
Jihad Watch : In a first such move by Switzerland, which should be applauded and replicated in other Western countries:
Switzerland has revoked the citizenship of a man
convicted of helping recruit jihadist fighters, invoking a law allowing
dual nationals to be stripped of their Swiss passports for conduct
detrimental to national interests or reputation.
“Last year, Australia revoked the nationality of an Islamic State
(IS) recruiter, despite some concerns the move would leave him
stateless, while Britain in February stripped a 19-year-old teenager of
citizenship on security grounds.” And the German parliament recently
revised its Nationality Act
“to make it tougher on those joining foreign terrorist groups,
polygamists and naturalized citizens who committed fraud to gain
citizenship.”
Germany’s cabinet
also “approved a change to the law allowing dual nationals to lose
their citizenship if they fight for a foreign terrorist militia.” In Canada, the Liberal government scrapped a law instituted by the
former Conservative government to strip citizenship from convicted
terrorists who have dual citizenship.
The premise was logical and
important, as reported by the Toronto Sun,
that “if you commit high treason or acts of war against Canada, the
thinking goes, you’ve forfeited your right to be Canadian.” “Swiss Revoke Citizenship from Dual-National Islamic State Recruiter,” Jerusalem Post, September 11, 2019:
