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."
SFSU Faculty Panel Enraged That Terrorist Leila Khaled Was Denied Platform by Zoom and Facebook By Hugh Fitzgerald

Leila Khaled is a Terrorist
Jihad Watch : Leila Khaled is a terrorist. That is her only claim on the world’s
attention.
In 1969, working with the terror group Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), she helped hijack a TWA plane (Flight
840), flying from Rome to Tel Aviv, forcing it to land in Damascus. She
had thought that Yitzhak Rabin would be aboard the plane, and could
either be held for a prisoner swap, or killed, but she was mistaken. In
Damascus, she and her fellows blew up the nose cone of the plane.
She
then was given refuge by Hafez al-Assad, and by the next year she was at
it again. On September 6, 1970, with another terrorist, she hijacked
another plane, this one an El Al Flight 219 from Amsterdam to New York.
While the plane was flying, two Israeli sky marshals killed the other
terrorist, Patrick Argüello, a Nicaraguan–American. Khaled was carrying
two grenades at the time, and though she had been given instructions not
to threaten passengers on the civilian flight, she disobeyed.
