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."

Child Brides of Terroristan/Pakistan
Jihad Watch : While the world continues to ignore human rights abuses committed in
the name of Islam, mainstream Islamic clerics in countries that
implement Sharia certainly do not.With reference to the practice of child marriage, the Washington Times reports:
The problems are not just cultural. The
U.N. World Health Organization notes that the leading causes of death
for females ages 15 to 19 are linked to pregnancy and childbirth. Babies
born to girls younger than 18 are at higher risks of death and poor
development, the WHO report….
“I will never support any legislation that is against the tenets of
Islam,” said Ali Muhammad Khan, minister of state for parliamentary
affairs. “Pakistan is an Islamic country, and no such law can be passed here even if it costs me my ministry or my seat [in Parliament].”
Qibla Ayaz, chairman of Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology, said,
“In 1961, the minimum age for marriage was set to 16, which was
un-Islamic. It will be going again against the Shariah [Islamic law] if
the age of marriage is changed to 18.” “Muslim conservatives defend practice of child brides in Pakistan as ‘tenets of Islam,'” by Naila Inayat, Washington Times, August 29, 2019:
