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."
Iran’s execution of dissident gets worldwide coverage, but media ignores fact that his ‘crime’ was based on Qur’an
Tuesday, December 15, 2020
Jihad Watch : This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth to do corruption there: they shall be killed,
or crucified, or their hands and feet shall be struck off on opposite
sides; or they shall be exiled from the land.
That is a degradation for
them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty
chastisement.” (Qur’an 5:33)
Many news outlets have covered the judicial murder of Ruhollah Zam. I
found none that noted that his crime, “corruption on earth,” is a death
penalty offense in the Qur’an. Why did they all ignore this? Probably
because they don’t know it, and if they did know it, they’d still spike
it, as the establishment media has dedicated itself to the proposition
that no news can be published that might make anyone think ill of Islam.
“Iran’s execution of journalist Ruhollah Zam, briefly explained,” by Cameron Peters, Vox, December 12, 2020:
Iranian journalist Ruhollah Zam, whose reporting helped spur large anti-government protests, was executed by Iran on Saturday morning, according to reports by state media.
Zam, 47, was found guilty of “corruption on earth” and sentenced to death in June 2020. The sentence was upheld by Iran’s Supreme Court on Tuesday this week, shortly before his execution.
The vague charge of “corruption on earth” is often used “in cases
involving espionage or attempts to overthrow Iran’s government,” Al Jazeera reported Saturday
