Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
Robbed of her childhood, degraded by hundreds of abusers and betrayed by the authorities she ran to for help.
The horrifying seven-year ordeal of sex trafficking victim Jennifer today marks a new low in the Telford abuse scandal . Jennifer
ā not her real name ā tells the Sunday Mirror for the first time how
she was raped by over 500 men from the age off 11 ā yet she is the one
left with a criminal record. She was gang raped, often in her
school uniform, trafficked and held at gunpoint. Her nightmare left her
so broken she attempted suicide. At just 16, she feared for her life as one rapist battered her and shoved gravel in her mouth to silence her cries.
For four years, until she was 19, she fell under the control of a man who hawked her around like a piece of meat. Jennifer
claims police refused to intervene and repeatedly arrested her for
prostitution from the age of 16 to 19, despite her plea she was being
exploited. Yet not one of her abusers has been brought to justice
despite multiple reports to police. Jennifer says: āI must have been
raped by more than 500 men.
"When I told the police, they told me
Iād chosen my lifestyle. I asked to make a statement because Iād been
raped and beaten by so many men and I wanted it to stop. "An
officer said, āYouāre a common prostitute. Donāt you think that comes
with the job?ā (This Dick should be sodomised without any grease -edit) He said a jury would never believe I was a victim of
abuse. āInstead, I ended up in the dock. I starved so I had money
for the court fines because I was terrified of going to jail. I was
basically paying to be raped.ā
