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."

Kidnapped Christian Couple by Muslims
Jihad Watch : Time for the establishment media to treat us to a new round of
features on the rise of “Islamophobia.” Their fiction writers will need
to be working overtime. “Couple Abducted from Wedding in Attacks in Northwest Nigeria that Kill 12 Christians,” Morning Star News, April 29, 2020:
JOS, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Muslim Fulani herdsmen
in northwest Nigeria killed 12 Christians and kidnapped a couple from
their church wedding ceremony in attacks this month, sources said. In Tegina Kabata village in Niger state’s Shiroro County, herdsmen
attacked a church site where a wedding was taking place on April 12,
abducting the couple and some church members, area resident Danjuma
Iliya told Morning Star News.
“As the pastor was officiating during the wedding solemnization, the
herdsmen stormed the church and took away everyone who was unable to
escape from the church building, including the bride and groom,” Iliya
said. “In that village, five Christians were killed in the series of
attacks carried out by the herdsmen.” Two other Christians were killed by herdsmen in Niger state’s
Gidigori village, Kusherki District, in Rafi County, on April 20, area
resident James Ayuba said. They were two of seven Christians killed in
three herdsmen attacks over five days in Rafi County, he said.
Others were injured in herdsmen attacks in the county’s Madaka and Sabon Gari villages on April 20-21, he said…. The announcement came the same day that a church elder in
north-central Nigeria’s Kaduna state had been kidnapped. Armed Fulani
herdsmen abducted Emmanuel Iliya Agiya, elder and treasurer of the
Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) in Atang village, Jema’a County on
April 22, area resident Aku Joshua Shai told Morning Star News by
phone.
After shooting into the air to send villagers scampering into the
bushes, the herdsmen broke into Iliya’s house that night and took him
away at gunpoint, he said. “The armed herdsmen first tried to forcefully gain entry into the
house of the brother of the victim but were unsuccessful,” Shai said.
“They then proceeded to the next house, the victim’s house, dragged him
out, and then took him away at gunpoint.”…
Christian Killed
Also in Kaduna state’s Jema’a County, armed Fulani herdsmen on April
14 attacked Zakkan village, killing one Christian and wounding two
others, Shai said. Abel Danjuma, 40, was killed, and his two brothers, 45-year-old Henry
Tuta, 50-year-old Chairman Tuta were injured. Henry Tuta was treated
and discharged from Kafanchan General Hospital, while Chairman Tuta’s
serious injuries required that he be transferred to Jos University
Teaching Hospital, Jos, Shai said.
“The three victims are members of the Catholic Church at Zakkan
village,” he said. “The herdsmen, too, blocked the Abuja-Jos route at
Zakkan village and kidnapped two young girls who were traveling from
Abuja to Taraba state.
The girls were later rescued and set free by
Christians from Zakkan village who went in pursuit of the herdsmen and
rescued the girls.”…
