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."
Netherlands: Muslim politician arrested on suspicion of participating in plot to murder the prime minister
Wednesday, September 29, 2021
Jihad Watch : Van Doorn is a bizarre figure. Once part of Geert Wilders’ Freedom
Party, the party broke with Van Doorn in December 2011.
In April 2012,
Van Doorn announced his conversion to Islam. He expressed regret that he
had been involved in making Wilders’ short film Fitna. Van Doorn became
head of the European Da’wa Foundation. He has been accused of
antisemitic remarks, including one about a Jewish Canadian who paid a
ransom to free Yazidi and Christian hostages, and about whom he tweeted
“To sell at a profit?” Called out on it, Van Doorn claimed he had only
been joking.
Van Doorn has also described the failed coup in Turkey as
the work of “Zionists.” On May 4, National Memorial Day in the
Netherlands, when the more than 100,000 Dutch Jews murdered in the
Holocaust were remembered, Van Doorn said that Palestinians were equal
to the victims of the Holocaust. He has also tweeted “May Allah
exterminate the Zionists.” “Mark Rutte: Dutch police arrest politician over suspected plot to murder PM,” BBC, September 28, 2021:
