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."
Persecution group asks Religious Freedom appointee to clarify his views on Sharia hostility to religious freedom By Robert Spencer

Rashad Hussain
Jihad Watch : Rashad Hussain is a hafiz; that is, he has memorized the entire Qur’an.
He is, by all accounts, a devout Muslim. As Ambassador-at-Large for
International Religious Freedom, will he speak out and act for the
religious freedom of non-Muslims in Sharia states who are discriminated
against according to Sharia provisions? The establishment media will
never ask him. So Save the Persecuted Christians has done so.

Coalition Seeks Ambassador-Designate’s Answers to Questions Prior to Senate Vote
WASHINGTON, D.C.— An open letter organized by the Save the Persecuted ChristiansCoalition
was sent today to President Biden’s controversial choice to be the next
U.S. Ambassador-at-Large (AAL) for International Religious Freedom
(IRF), Rashad Hussain. The letter’s 124 signatories ask the nominee to address a series of important questions that were not posed during his largely pro forma hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week.
The questions seek to clarify, among other things, how President
Obama’s special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC),
whose devotion to Islam prompted him to memorize the entire Koran, will
address threats to the religious liberty of non-Muslims, a right not
recognized by the Islamic doctrine of Sharia. For example, the letter
asks:
