“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 : Of course. Was this decision ever really in doubt? No. But the question
remains: was it motivated by a sober and unbiased assessment of the
evidence at hand, or by an assessment of the political realities in
Norway today? It is much more likely to have been the latter. Remember:
Bråthen posted a video with the words: “I come with a warning…bear witness that I am a Muslim.” “Norway: Bow-and-arrow attack victims likely stabbed to death,” AP, October 18, 2021, 7:53 AM·2 min read
HELSINKI (AP) — Norwegian police say the Danish man
suspected of killing five people and injuring three others in an attack
last week also used “stabbing weapons” along with a bow and arrow to
kill his victims.
Police inspector Per Thomas Omholt said it was likely the 37-year-old
suspect, identified as Espen Andersen Braathen, first used arrows to
wound his victims and then killed them by stabbing them with an
unspecified weapon or weapons in Wednesday’s attack in Kongsberg, a town
of 26,000 southwest of the capital, Oslo.
“When it comes to weapons, we have previously stated that a bow and
arrow has been used,” Omholt told a news conference Monday. “Other
weapons that have been used are stabbing weapons. We don’t want to go
out with what kind of stabbing weapons were used as all witnesses at the
scene haven’t been questioned yet.”
Andersen Braathen has confessed to the killings and has initially
been charged with five murders. Omholt said, however, the list of
charges would be extended as the investigation proceeds. Omholt reiterated Norwegian police’s assessment that the suspect’s
apparent mental illness was the likely cause for the attack, while
Andersen Braathen’s statement of being a convert to Islam had become a
less important investigation line….
If you convert to Islam after living as a free man in the first world
nation you must be mentally ill. Like the people who followed Charles
Manson in the late 1960s to 1970s to murder people at his command.
