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."
Guess Mamakthir might be contemplating pulling Saudi Nuts from out of the fire. Do NOT even think of it!!!! The Saudis have chop chop squuare for entertainment on Fridays. Guess the Yemenis too might have their own!!!👌🤕😜😛
Yemen’s Houthi rebels said they captured many Saudi soldiers and
officers in a large operation near the border between the two countries
on Saturday, shortly after the kingdom agreed to a limited ceasefire
with the Iranian-backed group.
If
true, the escalation will likely deal a blow to efforts to end a war
that’s killed thousands and triggered one of the world’s worst
humanitarian disasters. Saudi Arabia mobilized a military coalition in
2015 to back Yemen’s internationally-recognized government against the
Shiite rebels.
Thousands
of people have been taken prisoners, including “many Saudi commanders,
officers and soldiers.” A spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition fighting
in Yemen didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

Yemen war: Houthi rebels claim mass capture of Saudi troops. A Houthi spokesman told the BBC that three Saudi brigades had surrendered near the Saudi town of Najran.
He said thousands of soldiers had been captured and many others killed. Saudi officials have not confirmed the claim.
The operation was the largest of its kind since the conflict began, the spokesman said.
Colonel Yahiya Sarea said Saudi forces had suffered "huge losses in life and machinery".
All those captured would be paraded on the Houthi-run Al Masirah TV network on Sunday, he added.
