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."
Jihad Watch : 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.
Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Jan Schakowsky of
Illinois introduced legislation Thursday that would create a federal
office to monitor “Islamophobia” and anti-Muslim bigotry around the
world. Omar hopes the office will help lawmakers understand the “interconnected, global problem of anti-Muslim bigotry.”
“The bill requires the State Department to create a Special Envoy for
monitoring and combating Islamophobia, and include state-sponsored
Islamophobic violence and impunity in the Department’s annual human
rights reports,” Omar’s office said in a press release .
Although Omar and Schakowsky’s proposal is aimed at international
anti-Muslim bigotry, they both said it is a domestic problem, too. “We are seeing a rise in Islamophobia in nearly every corner of the
globe,” Omar said. “In my home state of Minnesota, vandals spray-painted
hate messages and a Nazi swastika on and near the Moorhead Fargo
Islamic Center. In the past year, roughly 500 complaints of anti-Muslim hate and bias
have been documented in the U.S., according to the release….
“As part of our commitment to international religious freedom and
human rights, we must recognize Islamophobia and do all we can to
eradicate it,” Omar said.
