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."
Buried under dollars - Cost of the Afghan war & The Murder of 22 Surrendering Afghan Commandos
Wednesday, July 14, 2021
Despite spending more than $2 trillion, the U.S has failed to achieve its objectives in Afghanistan. American troops are leaving behind a nation on the brink of civil war.
The USA basically trained the Afghan military to become good Taliban. Disempower Pakistani Army to Stabilize Afghanistan.
USA should have settled with helping the Northern Alliance droned from afar. We should have never built roads, schools or hospitals and should have settled with droning every time the Taliban popped their heads up.
Jihad is the battle Americans need to fight, starting at Home first.
Whaddaya expect of the middle ages mentality? The Taliban killed 22 Afghan Commandos in cold blood. In Kunduz, the terrorist group claims it shot down two choppers of the Afghanistan Air Force.
So...this is followers of Islam killing another who is on his knees begging for mercy.....really the amount of peace is mind-blowing!! The Taliban are showing who they really are! Can't believe how many Muslims think that the Taliban are on their side...
Islam in a nutshell-if they are done with non believers then they start targeting their own community.
