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."
France: Muslim screaming ‘Allahu akbar! France is ruled by the Islamic State’ stabs security officer By Robert Spencer

Jihad Watch : Premature, to be sure, but he may well turn out to be right in the end. " Knife-wielding attacker shot by Paris railway security after shouting ‘France is ruled by the Islamic State’ – media reports,” RT, November 2, 2021 (thanks to David):
Officers at France’s Saint-Lazare station have reportedly
shot a knife-wielding man who ran at staff shouting, “Allahu Akbar!
France is ruled by the Islamic State,” following a routine request to
follow Covid safety protocols. The man was shot on Monday evening, after he threatened station staff
with a knife, leaving one security officer seriously injured, according
to France’s BFMTV.
According to French media, he was previously known to police, having
committed acts of violence, but had not been known to the intelligence
services or been considered a terrorist threat prior to the incident. Having initially been stopped for failing to wear a mask in
compliance with Covid safety measures, he reportedly became aggressive
with staff, before pulling out a knife and running at security officers,
screaming, “Allahu Akbar! France is ruled by the Islamic State.”
Despite managing to harm one of them, the assailant was quickly shot
twice, falling onto the tracks. He was subsequently rushed to hospital,
where he is believed to be undergoing treatment. “The two agents used their service weapons to defend and neutralize
him.
The injured individual was taken care of by the emergency
services,” French media reported, citing a press release from the SNCF,
which operates the country’s rail network….
