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."

Hat tip RoP : Osman Çallı, a Turkish national who was sentenced to life in prison in Belgium for murdering four women, was set free in 2020 after being extradited to Turkey, according to newly surfaced information. Reporting by BBC Turkish reveals that Çallı only stayed in prison for three years in Turkey.
A murderer of four women in Belgium, including his pregnant sister,
was set free in 2020 after being extradited to Turkey, according to reporting
by BBC Turkish. Osman Çallı was sentenced to life in prison in Belgium
but requested that he serve out the remainder of his sentence in Turkey. “I am enjoying the sun, the sea, and the beach here.
I have served my
sentence. I started a new life here [in Turkey],” he told Belgian news
channel VTM news. Both the Belgian Ministry of Justice and the relatives of those
killed reacted harshly to reports of Çallı’s freedom, demanding
explanations from the Turkish government.
Çallı was living in the city of Ghent, Belgium, when on the night of
November 11, 2004, he murdered four women and injured three others.
First, he tied his 25-year-old wife, Teslime, and his pregnant
19-year-old sister, Hacer, to chairs and shot them both. He then draped a
quilt over the two women’s bodies and set them on fire. From there, he
drove to the home of his ex-wife in the city of Aalst, where he shot
her, her mother, and a man that was living with her.
Çallı’s ex-wife and her mother were both killed, while the man who was living with them was seriously injured. On his way back to Ghent, he also took a female driver hostage when
his car malfunctioned and injured another person once he arrived in the
city.
