“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 : The legislators want Blinken “to specifically include anti-Muslim violence per se in next year’s annual human rights reports.”
All right. But will the human rights reports note the large number of faked anti-Muslim hate crimes?
Will the human rights reports make a clear distinction between
“Islamophobia” as attacks on innocent Muslims, which are never
justified, and “Islamophobia” as honest analysis of the motivating
ideology behind jihad violence, which is always necessary?
Of course the answer to both questions is a resounding no. If this
“special envoy” is created, he or she will crack down on honest
discussion of how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam
to justify violence and oppression. The special envoy will be another
agent in the Left’s escalating war against the freedom of speech.
“Rep. Ilhan Omar and other Dems push for the creation of a special envoy to combat Islamophobia,” by Alex Nitzberg, The Blaze, July 20, 2021:
Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and multiple other
Democratic legislators are urging Secretary of State Antony Blinken to
establish a special envoy to combat Islamophobia.
“As part of our commitment to international religious freedom and
human rights, we must recognize Islamophobia as a pattern that is
repeating in nearly every corner of the globe,” the lawmakers state in a
letter to Blinken, according to CNN. “It is past time for the United
States to stand firmly in favor of religious freedom for all, and to
give the global problem of Islamophobiathe attention and prioritization
it deserves.”
Omar is co-leading the letter along with Rep. Jan Schakowsky of
Illinois. An additional 23 Democratic lawmakers have joined as well,
according to the outlet. Some of the other Democratic lawmakers backing the letter include
Reps. Karen Bass of California, Jim McGovern of Massachusetts, Rashida
Tlaib of Michigan, Adam Smith of Washington and Sara Jacobs of
California, according to CNN. The Hill mentioned Reps. Debbie Dingell of
Michigan, Judy Chu of California and Steve Cohen of Tennessee. The legislators want Blinken “to specifically include anti-Muslim
violence per se in next year’s annual human rights reports,” according
to The Hill.
“In addition to state-sponsored policies of Islamophobia, we have
seen a disturbing rise in incidents of Islamophobic violence committed
by individuals connected to larger transnational white supremacist
networks, including but by no means limited to the mosque shooting in
Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019 and the recent murder of a Muslim
Canadian family in London, Ontario,” the legislators stated in the
letter,
