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."
‘He commanded us to believe in Allah or they will kill us’: Uganda Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ kill Christian

Dante Tambika
Jihad Watch : “Tambika’s father had mentored his son in how to share the gospel,
and area Muslims began monitoring Tambika’s movements after he led five
teenage Muslims to Christ…”
That is what likely led to the murder of Dante Tambika. Islamic law
forbids proselytizing for another religion and conversion to another
religion, on pain of death. “Muslim Extremists Kill 19-Year-Old Christian in Boat for His Faith,” Morning Star News, September 8, 2021:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News)
– Muslim extremists in eastern Uganda last week boarded a boat in which
a young evangelist was fishing and killed him, sources said. Dante Tambika, also known as Patrick, was beaten and strangled to
death near Nankodo 3 village, Nankodo Sub-County, on Aug. 31 after he
and friends went out on Lake Lemwa, said Stephen Mukama, a survivor of
the attack. Tambika was 19.
Mukuma, Tambika and two other friends were walking toward the lake
when they realized five Muslim teenagers were following them, Mukama
said. They knew the five Muslims who stopped them, he said. “They tried to provoke us by calling us infidels and saying that they
were going to crush us just like Allah did to those who used to attack
their prophet, Muhammad,” Mukama said.
