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."
Nigeria: Government outraged as bishop criticizes its response to jihad terror

Matthew Hassan Kukah
Jihad Watch : Note how the failed Nigerian leadership takes aim at the Catholic
Bishop of Sokoto on the grounds that the Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah did
not speak like a man of God when Kukah criticized Nigeria’s approach to
escalating Islamic terrorism in the country.
How is a man of God
supposed to speak? He is supposed to speak the truth. Christians are
undergoing a genocide in Nigeria, and it is Nigeria’s Muslim President
Muhammadu Buhari who is playing politics.
Nigeria’s newest president is Muhammadu Buhari, a Muslim
endorsed by Christian leaders who hope he can combat corruption and
sectarian terrorism.
Buhari has failed miserably and astronomically. And he’s busy
spending billions of naira (Nigerian currency) on senseless
deradicalization programs that don’t work, while Christians continue to
be murdered in a country that has been described as a “massive killing
field.” Does Buhari really think that Boko Haram will turn over a new
leaf? “Nigeria presidency accuses priest of partisan politics after
criticism,” translated from “Nigéria : la présidence accuse un prêtre de
faire de la politique partisane après des critiques,” by Rodrigue
