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."
Pakistan: Muslims attack and fire upon Christians in order to seize their lands By Robert Spencer

Burewala Christians
Jihad Watch : These Muslims, the “best of people” (Qur’an 3:110) have contempt for the
Christians, “the most vile of created beings” (98:6). They know that in
the perfect Islamic State, Christians would be paying jizya to them and
submitting to their hegemony (cf. Qur’an 9:29). They know that police
and law courts in Pakistan are likely to be more sympathetic to them
than to their victims. So there is no downside to this behavior.
“Muslims fire at Christians in Burewala to seize their lands,” by Shafique Khokhar, Asia News, November 4, 2021: Burewala (AsiaNews) – A group of Muslims attacked and
fired at Christians in order to seize their lands in Trikhani, a village
near the city of Burewala, Vehari district (Punjab). At least nine
people were wounded, three hospitalised in critical condition.
On 29 October, Muslims started shooting at Christians as they watered
their fields. After the latter filed a First Information Report (FIR)
with police, the attackers, who had obtained pre-arrest bail, continued
to threaten the Christians, demanding they drop the FIR.
“They wanted to kill us,” said Raja Masih. “They fired straight at us, so I got a bullet that almost hit me in the heart”. Kamran Masih, a resident of the village and an eyewitness to the
incident, explained that Muslim landowners demanded local Christians to
sell their land. Uttering threats, they told them if they refused, they
would face “serious consequences”.
This is not new. Local Christians have already resisted selling their
land in the past because “they are the history and legacy of our
ancestors” and allow families to earn a living. The village was originally founded by missionaries and farmland was
donated to the poorest families, who handed it down through the
generations.
“In any case, the Muslim offers do not reflect the real market value of the fields,” Masih told AsiaNews. Human rights activist Saleem Iqbal, who visited the injured in
hospital in Sahiwal, expressed his regret over the affair.
“It is sad to
see how Muslim landowners use their influence to target Christians.”…
