“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."
Jihad Watch : Imran Kunt says he is starting a new campaign to intimidate the West
into adopting Sharia blasphemy laws, and this time he is looking for a
“permanent” solution. “Otherwise, he added, protests and violence will
make no difference to the Western world.”
That’s an interesting statement, acknowledging that the point of the
protests and riots in Pakistan is to frighten the West into abandoning
the freedom of speech. More on this story. “Pakistan to launch global campaign against blasphemy,” by Aamir Latif, Anadolu Agency, April 19, 2021:
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday said he is
going to launch a campaign, seeking Muslim countries’ support to raise
the simmering issues of blasphemy and Islamophobia at international
forums, including the UN and the EU. “When we begin a campaign by bringing together all Muslim countries
[against Islamophobia and blasphemy], it will make a difference and
change will come in the West,” Khan said at a televised ceremony in the
capital Islamabad.
The campaign, he said, will help find a “permanent” solution to these issues. Otherwise, he added, protests and violence will make no difference to the Western world. He was referring to the ongoing protests across the country by a
far-right religious group –Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) – demanding
expulsion of the French ambassador over republication of blasphemous
caricatures in France last year.
“There will come a time when people in the Western countries will
think twice before disrespecting the Holy Prophet (PBUH),” Khan went on
to say. Last week, Khan urged the Western countries to outlaw blasphemy of Prophet Muhammad on the lines of the Holocaust.
Expressing concern over a rising wave of Islamophobia, particularly
in the West, Khan, in a series of tweets, had said:
“I call on Western
governments who have outlawed any negative comment on the holocaust to
use the same standards to penalize those deliberately spreading their
message of hate against Muslims by abusing our Prophet (PBUH).”
