Fighting Seventh
The Fighting Rangers On War, Politics and Burning Issues
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."

Dead Jihadi aka Michael Harpon, 45 a convert
Vlad Tepes : A deaf civilian police worker who had
recently converted to Islam was shot dead in Paris today after murdering
four colleagues with a ceramic knife following a 'dispute over working
with female colleagues.
Michael Harpon, 45, caused the bloodbath in the French capital's historic Police Prefecture, next door to Notre Dame Cathedral.
Investigators
have not ruled out a possible terrorist motivation for the Thursday
afternoon attack, which left a woman and three men dead.
All
were repeatedly stabbed by Harpon, who had worked in the IT department
at the Prefecture since 2003, in the worst loss of French police lives
in a single day since World War II.
Harpon had recently been reprimanded by his female boss over his refusal to interact with women, Actu17 reported.
Within
hours of the attack, anti-terrorist officers had raided Harpon's flat
in an apartment block at Gonesse, a suburb some 12 miles from the scene
of the attack.
His wife, Iham, was
arrested, as an investigating source said that the nature of Harpon's
attack corresponded with similar ones carried out by terrorists
affiliated to Islamic State and Al-Qaeda.
(It should be noted that other news reports explain that he was working in a secured part of the police station. That he murdered his colleagues with a ceramic knife that would not be seen by the metal detectors used for that part of the building. This means he knowingly brought in a weapon that could not be detected, and more importantly means this was not a spontaneous result of an argument but ) was a premeditated act of jihad.
