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."

Turkish Navy infringing into Cyprus's territorial waters - Friggin Bully
Jihad Watch : A reminder in all the present confusion that Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a
jihadist scoundrel with revanchist caliphate dreams. Turkey is not an
ally of the United States, and should not be in NATO. “Concerns as Turkish Navy surrounds Cyprus,” by Vassilis Nedos, Ekathimerini, October 9, 2019:
Tension mounted in the Eastern Mediterranean on Tuesday
as the Turkish Navy practically encircled Cyprus with almost 20 vessels,
including frigates and submarines. Turkey’s move coincided with the imminent launch of operations by the
Yavuz drillship within Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ), while the
Barbaros vessel is also conducting seismographic research in the
island’s waters.
At the same time, there were no French or American military forces present in the region. This absence of Western powers with economic interests in the region
at a time when Turkey is blatantly violating Cyprus’s EEZ is seen to
signify that countries like France and the United States clearly want to
avoid a militarization of the crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean,
which is something that Ankara obviously wants.
Meanwhile, Turkey’s behavior in the Eastern Mediterranean was at the
epicenter of Tuesday’s trilateral summit in Cairo between Greece, Cyprus
and Egypt, and was roundly condemned….
