Fighting Seventh
The Fighting Rangers On War, Politics and Burning Issues
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."

Mass in memory of David Ames
BCF : The UK does not want the focus to be on the latest terrorist killer’s Islamic ties.
Most of those arrested and imprisoned for these offenses, note well, are
targeted for criticizing Islam. They do so because they understand that
Islam is a deeply problematic ideology that has been responsible for countless atrocities around the world, most recently the jihadist murder
of David Amess. Now, in what feels like an ultimate irony, the jihadist
murder of David Amess may well end up being used by his colleagues in
Parliament to authorize the harassment, arrest, imprisonment — and
silencing — of even more critics of Islam.
Amess’s own family issued a statement urging everybody in the UK to “set
aside their differences and show kindness and love to all. This is the
only way forward.” Deeply Christian sentiments, I suppose, and
especially touching given the torment that these poor people must be
experiencing. But this is precisely why I’m not a very good Christian
when it comes to things like this. Frankly, I can’t bring myself to show
love to people who want to murder the people I love — or who are
prepared to cheer when somebody else murders them. Turn the other cheek,
and you’re encouraging your assailant not just to strike your other
cheek but to move on to someone else’s cheek.
That’s nice, I guess.
Similarly, British police seem to be trying to push the absurd line that Ali had no specific motive
for killing Amess — meaning, apparently, that he didn’t have a
particular grievance against Amess, and might just as easily have picked
another Member of Parliament. You might just as well say that the Al
Qaeda hijackers weren’t Islamic terrorists because they didn’t know
exactly whom they’d be murdering on 9/11.
The Muslim mayor of London, Sadick Kunt, seemed to kick off
this preposterous — and reprehensible — mass act of official deflection
when he sent out a tweet
shortly after the assassination. Here it is in its entirety: “I am so
deeply, deeply saddened by the tragic news that Sir David has passed
away. He loved being an MP and was a great public servant. It is just
awful. My thoughts and prayers, and those of all rLondoners, are with
David’s loved ones at this time of unimaginable grief.”
