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."
Twitter: Khamenei’s genocidal tweets are ‘commentary on political issues,’ while Trump’s could ‘inspire harm’
Thursday, July 30, 2020
Ayatollah Khamenei the Genocidal Maniac
Jihad Watch : The reasoning behind this is actually quite clear. The fact is that
Twitter top dogs hate Trump. They hate Trump above anything and
everything else. Khamenei hates Trump as well. Consequently, Twitter is
fine with Khamenei, genocidal anti-Semitism and all, but censors Trump. “Twitter defends blocking Trump tweets but not Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei,” by Ebony Bowden, New York Post, July 29, 2020:
A Twitter spokeswoman has defended the company’s decision
to block and restrict tweets from President Trump but not those of
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei which call for genocide of
the Israeli people.
The reason? Because the Iranian dictator’s tweets pass as “commentary
on political issues of the day” while Trump’s could “inspire harm,”
Twitter claims. During a hearing on antisemitism in front of the Knesset, Israel’s
parliament in Jerusalem, lawmakers grilled a Twitter representative over
why the platform was policing missives from Trump, but not other world
leaders such as Khamenei calling Israel “a cancerous growth.”
“You have recently started flagging the tweets of President Trump,”
noted Arsen Ostrovsky, a human rights lawyer and executive director of
the Jewish-Israeli Congress. “Why have you not flagged the tweets of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
who has literally called for the genocide of Israel and the Jewish
people?” he asked. In an astonishing response, the Twitter spokeswoman claimed that
tweets from the Iranian leader — where he has publicly called for the
“elimination” of Israel — amounted to little more than “foreign policy
saber-rattling.”
“We have an approach to world leaders that presently say that direct
interactions with fellow public figures, comments on political issues of
the day, or foreign policy saber-rattling on military and economic
issues are generally not in violation of our Twitter rules,” the
spokeswoman responded.
Stunned lawmaker Michal Cotler-Wunsh interrupted: “So calling for genocide is OK?” “Calling for genocide on Twitter is OK, but commenting on political situations in certain countries is not OK?” she continued…. “I’ll just cut to the chase: Big Tech is out to get conservatives,”
Ohio Republican Jim Jordan said. “That’s not a suspicion, that’s not a
hunch. That’s a fact.”
