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."
France: Court upholds decision not to try Muslim who killed Jewish woman, since he was high on marijuana

Kobili Traore The Muslim Jewess Killer
Jihad Watch : Kobili Traore gets away with murder. Might this decision have anything
to do with the severe criticism France has received from Islamic leaders
for daring to oppose jihad violence? How else does this decision make
any sense?
“French court upholds decision not to try Muslim man who killed Jewish woman Sarah Halimi,” by Cnaan Liphshiz, JTA, April 14, 2021:
Relatives of a Paris woman who was killed by her neighbor
while he spewed anti-Semitic slurs and was high on marijuana have lost
their final appeal to have the killer tried. In its decision Wednesday, the Court of Cassation’s Supreme Court of
Appeals upheld rulings by lower tribunals that Kobili Traore cannot
stand trial in the 2017 killing of Sarah Halimi because he was too high
on marijuana to be criminally responsible for his actions.
The handling of Halimi’s slaying has been a watershed event for many
French Jews, who say it underlines the French state’s failures in
dealing with anti-Semitism. Traore broke into the third-story apartment of Halimi, a physician
and educator in her 60s, shouted about Allah, called her a demon and
pummeled Halimi. The intruder then threw Halimi out the window.
Traore then shouted out the window, “A lady has fallen out the
window,” and fled the scene, witnesses said. Police caught him nearby. An appeals court said Traore, now in his early 30s, had anti-Semitic
bias and that the killing was partly connected to it. But it also
accepted the defense claims that Traore was too high to be tried for his
actions and he was placed at a psychiatric facility.
The CRIF umbrella group of French Jewish communities called it a
“miscarriage of justice.” The founder of the National Bureau for
Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, a communal watchdog known as BNVCA,
said he “no longer had full confidence that anti-Semitic hate crimes in
France are handled properly.”
