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."
Australia: Three Muslims admit plotting jihad massacre for ‘advancement of Islam through violence’
Tuesday, March 30, 2021
Jihad Watch : Wait a minute here. Pope Francis told me
that authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Qur’an reject every
form of violence.
He must be right, no? So how did Ertunc and Samed
Eriklioglu and Hanifi Halis get the crazy idea that they could or should
advance Islam through violence? Has their mosque been investigated? Why
not?
“Terrorist trio admit planning a mass shooting attack in Victoria to ‘advance Islam through violence,'” Australia Associated Press, March 26, 2021: Three men have admitted to planning to gun down members of the public in a terrorist attack in Victoria.

on Friday pleaded guilty to one charge each of conspiring between
November 9 and 19, 2018 to buy a firearm in preparation for an attack.
Documents released by Victoria’s County Court show an attack against
members of the public was planned for the ‘advancement of Islam through
violence’…
