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."
Netherlands: Muslim migrant gets 10 years prison dawah for plot to murder Geert Wilders over Muhammad cartoons

Geert Wilders
Jihad Watch : The worst part of the ongoing controversy over cartoons of Muhammad is
the readiness of so many in the West to capitulate, and the
unwillingness of so many in the West to recognize the implications of
that capitulation.
All too many people in what are supposedly free
countries abandon the freedom of speech eagerly in the face of jihadi
threats or even the prospect of those threats, hiding their cowardice
behind pious affirmations of “respect” for Muslims and Islam. This isn’t
about respect, and the drawing of Muhammad is not about gratuitously
insulting Muslims.
It is about standing up against violent intimidation.
Giving in to that intimidation only encourages more of it, and we have
seen that in the West since the Muhammad cartoon controversy began back
in 2005. “Pakistani Migrant Male Gets 10 Years For Terror Plot to Kill Geert Wilders Over Mohammed Cartoons,” by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart, November 18, 2019 :
