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: Six statues decapitated in a church By Robert Spencer

Jihad Watch : There is no telling who is behind this. Still, is it possible, just
possible, that this had something to do with this Qur’an passage?
“When
your Lord inspired to the angels, I am with you, so strengthen those who
have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who
disbelieved, so strike upon the necks and strike from them every
fingertip.” (8:12) Or this one? “When you meet the unbelievers, strike
the necks…” (47:4)
After all, the people who believe that passage about cutting off
heads is holy writ also believe that Christianity is a false religion
and that they are commanded to fight unbelievers so that Allah may
punish them by the hands of the believers (cf. Qur’an 9:14-15). They are
also likely familiar with the Qur’an’s suggestion that the destroyed
remnants of ancient non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s
punishment of those who rejected his truth: “Many were the Ways of Life
that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what
was the end of those who rejected Truth.” (Qur’an 3:137) The ruins of
non-Muslim civilizations thus bear witness to the truth of Islam. What
ensues from that idea? The creation of more ruins.
Maybe it’s just a coincidence. But large numbers of people who
believe these things have entered France in recent years. However, given
the political situation and the state of the establishment media there,
we will likely never know for sure.
“Six statues decapitated in a church in Poitiers,” translated from
“Six statues décapitées dans une église à Poitiers,” by Amaury Bucco, Valuers Actuelles, January 12, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):
The vandalism with iron bars of the Saint-Denis basilica,
in Seine-Saint-Denis, on January 5, is definitely far from being an
isolated act. Valeurs Actuelles has discovered that two churches in
Poitiers, in Vienne, located about two kilometers away, were vandalized a
few days apart. The first vandalism was the subject of a brief article
in the local press on January 5. This is the Saint-Porchaire church, yet
located not far from the police station in a pedestrian area frequently
monitored, as revealed by the site of the New Republic. According to a
witness, two men deliberately threw a statue of the Sacred Heart of
Jesus on the ground, which broke on the ground, during the weekend of
January 1.
Father Genty, vicar general of Poitiers, does not wish to speak on
the subject. A local police source told Valeurs Actuelles that one of
the two men, aged around 30 and of “European type,” introduced himself
to one of the parishioners present as an evangelist, then climbed on the
altar to seize the statue and throw it to the ground, before fleeing
with his accomplice. “This statue, about one meter high, was in the
niche of a side chapel overlooking an altar framed by the statues of
Saint Radegonde and Saint Thérèse,” the New Republic states.
The second vandalism was mentioned in a police report, but not in the local press
Coincidentally, it was precisely in the Sainte-Thérèse church,
located in the Bel-Air district, less than two kilometers away, in
Poitiers, that damage was committed on January 6, without the local
press noting anything this time, although the abuses committed were
spectacular, to say the least.
