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."
Nigeria: Muslims murder 38 people ‘simply because they were Christians’
Sunday, October 10, 2021
Christian Funeral
Jihad Watch : “I believe that what is happening to us in Nigeria is an Islamic agenda, an effort to Islamize the country.” But remember: concern about Islamization is just “Islamophobia.” “38 Buried in Mass Grave, Massacred ‘Simply Because They Were Christians.'” International Christian Concern, October 6, 2021:
10/06/2021 Nigeria (International Christian Concern) – The mass grave was 15 feet wide, 30 feet long, and 5 feet deep. In it lie 38 Christians, murdered in their homes during yet another attack by Fulani militants in Nigeria’s middle belt.
While speaking at the funeral service, Reverend Michael Cosmas Magaji offered encouragement to the grieving crowd. “It is true that we are afflicted but not crushed,” he said. “It
means that, even though we suffer tremendous affliction, rejection and
abandonment, we will not be overcome by it because of God’s sustaining
power.”
On Sunday, September 26th, 2021,
Fulani Terrorists attacked Madamai village in Kaduna State and killed 38
people. In addition, nine people were seriously injured, and 46 homes
were destroyed. At about the same time on the same
day, four people were killed by the same jihadist group in Kpachudu
village, Plateau state. According to Magaji, these attacks were “simply because they were Christians.”
While speaking with ICC, Reverend Ephraim Kafang, the incumbent Secretary of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), said, “The
situation of Christians in Nigeria is no doubt extremely pathetic. Such
killings have been on for no less than two decades. The state
government has shown no concern to bring an end to it.” Kafang continued, “Obviously,
there’s no political will to rescue Christians. I believe that what is
happening to us in Nigeria is an Islamic agenda, an effort to Islamize
the country”.
Laah Yakubu, Public Relations Officer of Professional Hunters of Nigeria, added, “The
sluggish response to rescue the situation by the security agents led to
the killing of 14 people in a family of 15 amongst others”. Madamai has an estimated
population of 3,000 people. The Christian community has been attacked
twice by militant Fulani in just a little over one month.
On Sunday,
August 15th, five Christians were killed, several others were seriously
injured, and 20 homes and eight vehicles were set ablaze….
