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."
Multicultural Europe Swept by Week of Migrant Violence and ‘Allahu Akbar’ Attacks
Thursday, November 11, 2021
In just over a week, several western European countries have seen incidents of violence, including an attack on police officers in France on Monday by an Algerian migrant yelling “Allahu Akbar.
A knifeman who shouted "Allahu Akbar... France is ruled by the Islamic State" was shot by police in Paris on Monday evening https://t.co/rIpCbgKNyv
Since the end of October European states Italy, France and Germany
have all seen violence perpetrated by men from migrant backgrounds, and
in some cases, attackers professing “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is Great” as
they struck.
Egyptian Migrant’s “Allahu Akbar” Knife Attack on Halloween Revellers
On October 31st in the Italian city of Piacenza, a 32-year-old man —
an Egyptian national and already subject to a deportation order —
pulled out a knife and repeatedly shouted “Allahu akbar” after being
approached by police who believed he was acting suspiciously.
According to the Italian newspaper Il Giornale,
the officers attempted to calm the Egyptian down but he created panic
in a popular city square filled with Haloween party-goers as he
brandished his blade. He then made attempts to stab those passing by
him, with one city refuse collector stabbed and a police officer
attempting to subdue the migrant stabbed too.
Both injured parties were treated at hospital for
non-life-threatening injuries. Italian populist lawmaker Matteo Salvini
deplored the fact the Egyptian, who had already been ordered to be
deported, could be in Italy to attack members of the public in the first
place. “In our country there is no room for criminals and fanatics”, he
wrote, also sharing social media footage of the attack.
“Allahu Akbar” Knifeman Shot In Paris Railway Station
Just a day after the Italy attack, another knifeman yelling “Allahu Akbar” was shot by police
at the Saint-Lazare railway station in Paris when he threatened members
of the SUGE, the force in charge of security at the country’s railway
stations.
