Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
Greece: Muslim migrants march with flag of pro-Sharia Pakistani group By Robert Spencer
Saturday, October 23, 2021
Jihad Watch : What are the chances of these marchers becoming loyal citizens of a
secular Greek government? Right, about nil. Sharia is a political as
well as a religious system, and it is a political system that is
authoritarian, aggressive, expansionist, and supremacist.
But to point
this out is to be āIslamophobic.ā āPakistani community marches in Athens with jihad flag of Dawat-e-Islami,ā Greek City Times, October 19, 2021:
The Pakistani community provocatively marched through
Central Athens on October 7 with jihad flags to commemorate Eid
Milad-un-Nabi, the birthday of Muhammed, the founder of Islam.
As seen in the video of the march, several members of the Pakistani
community are proudly displaying the flag of Pakistani jihadist Sunni
organization Dawat-e-Islami, led by Ilyas Qadari.
Dawat-e-Islami preaches jihad in the name of Islamic education, and
has established radical madrassas across the world where students
receive little formal education except Quāran recitation classesā¦.
The green flag is the Islamic flag used in the Ottoman Caliphate on the battle field. It was used long before pakistan existed. Because it was used also by Ottoman armies invading Greek areas it is even worse, totally unacceptable.
