“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 : Khan is being hypocritical. In speaking of using Islam wrongly, he is referring to the latest Muhammad cartoon riots. Yet he just said:
“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.” So he wants to use the riots to force
the West into submission, while at the same time denouncing the riots. “Unfortunate that political, religious parties misuse Islam: PM Imran,” Dawn, April 19, 2021:
Prime Minister Imran Khan lamented on Monday that
political and religious parties in Pakistan “misused” Islam to deal
damage to the country and said he had started a campaign with heads of
other Muslim countries to present the case of the Holy Prophet’s (PBUH)
honour on international forums.
Addressing the groundbreaking ceremony for the Margalla Highway in
Islamabad, the prime minister said: “ln [sic] our country it is a great
misfortune that many times our political parties and religious parties
use Islam wrongly and use it such that they deal damage to their own
country.”
He said that the people of Pakistan loved the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and
nowhere in any country had he seen “the kind of attachment with
religion and love for Prophet (PBUH) as in our country”.
“So I am saddened that many times this love is misused. Does the
government not worry about this?
That when there is disrespect of Holy
Prophet’s (PBUH) honour then aren’t we pained?” he questioned, adding
that who could decide how much or how less someone loved the Holy
Prophet (PBUH).
