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."
‘By the Qur’an of Mecca, I will smoke you out’: Muslim threatens Islamocritical writer on Paris street By Robert Spencer
Thursday, September 30, 2021
Eric Zemmour
Jihad Watch : Of Mecca. Islamic tradition divides the Qur’an into chapters from Mecca
and chapters from Medina. The Meccan suras are supposed to be more
tolerant and peaceful than the Medinan ones. Yet this chappie
specifically invoked “the Qur’an of Mecca” as he was threatening to kill
Zemmour. Does he know something that our Western non-Muslim imams such
as Pope Francis and Joe Biden don’t?
“Eric Zemmour threatened with death in the street in Paris,” Le Figaro, September 27, 2021 (thanks to Medforth): “By the Koran of Mecca, I will smoke you out,” said a passer-by to the polemicist. The latter’s security officer intervened.
Eric Zemmour was once again the subject of assault. This Monday,
September 27, in the early afternoon, the journalist was targeted on the
boulevard de Clichy, in the eighteenth arrondissement of Paris, said
the entourage of Eric Zemmour to Le Figaro, confirming information from
Europe 1.
He was recognized by a man who started to insult him, yelling at him
“by the Koran of Mecca, I will smoke you out.” The police officer of the
SDLP [protection service, editor’s note] then intervened, but the
individual “got excited,” shouting in particular “f**king racist s**t,”
we are told.
Eric Zemmour and the police officer then headed for the journalist’s
vehicle in order to get to safety. Once the two men were inside the car,
they started the car and the individual “banged on the hood of the
car.”
On Twitter, Eric Zemmour deplored this aggression, “the daily life of
so many French people,” according to him. The deputy for the
Alpes-Maritimes department and candidate in the right-wing primaries,
Éric Ciotti, also reacted on the social network, assuring Eric Zemmour
of his “support”. “No personality involved in political life should be
threatened because of their opinions,” he added.
The polemicist had already been the victim of an assault on April 30,
2020 in Paris: while returning in the rain loaded with shopping bags,
an individual had approached him in the street and spat on him.
