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."
In NOT so great britain : Muslim who plotted jihad slaughter of soldier got $1,227,000 in legal aid, victims of jihad attacks got nothing

Parviz Khan, a jobless Jihadi Wanker
Jihad Watch : British authorities have made their choice. Theyāve abandoned the idea
of equality before the law for all citizens and established Muslims as a
protected class with rights and privileges beyond those of other
citizens. This will no doubt result in the creation of a happy and
peaceful multicultural paradise. Wonāt it? āJihadi behind soldier beheading terror style plot claimed Ā£1m legal aid,ā by Dominik Lemanski, Express, March 15, 2020:
THE LEADER of an al-Qaeda terror cell who plotted to
behead a British soldier claimed more than Ā£1million in legal aid ā and
could be back on the streets next year. Jobless Parviz Khan, 49, was jailed for life in 2008 for the plot to
kill, and for sending equipment to terrorists in Pakistan. The
Birmingham-based extremist, who planned to slaughter a serviceman ālike a
pigā, received Ā£1,696 a month in benefits while plotting his atrocity,
including £160 a week as an allowance to care for his elderly mother. He
was arrested before identifying a target and admitted the plan at
Leicester Crown Court in February 2008.
Records show the married father of four claimed £1,072,398 in legal
aid, of which £345,842 went to his solicitors and the remainder to
barristers representing him. Derby-born Khan is eligible for parole in February 2021, having
served a minimum 14 years of his life sentence from being on remand
after his arrest in 2007. Three members of his gang have already been
released.
Zahoor Iqbal, 41, Mohammed Irfan, 42, and Hamid Elasmar, 55, were
freed in October 2009 with African recruit Basiru Gassama, 41, who was
deported to Gambia. In covert recordings Khan, codenamed Motorway Madness during
surveillance operations, said: āIt would terrorise British soldiers and
young Blair is going to go crazy.ā
Nigel Rumfitt QC said of the beheading plan: āThe initial idea was to
approach him [the soldier] in Broad Street [in Birmingham] and lure him
into a car, then take him to a lock-up garage and there he would be
murdered by having his head cut off ālike a pigā.ā After the trial Det Supt Liam OāBrien described Khan as āa dangerous
man who had deep and entrenched viewsā. He warned at the time: āI
strongly believe that, if we hadnāt taken action, we would be talking
about the kidnap and murder of a British soldier.ā
Khan was a keen Sunday league footballer and cricketer before he was
radicalised during several trips to Pakistan. He then became a fanatic
who spoke of the July 7 bombers as ābrothersā. Arrested four months after naming his third child Usamah ā a version
of Osama ā Khan was ātrainingā his three-year-old daughter to marry a
Mujahideen fighter.
Critics slammed the level of public funding for Khan, contrasting it
with reports that families of victims of the London Bridge, Westminster
and Manchester Arena attacks were denied legal aidā¦.
