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."
Egypt: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ brutally murder three Christians, dance as they mutilate their bodies By Robert Spencer

Jihad Watch : This was supposedly revenge for a crime committed in 1952. “And we prescribed for them in it, Life for life, and eye for eye,
and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and retaliation
for injuries. But whoever forgoes it, this will be expiation for him.”
(Qur’an 5:45)
This way of thinking can lead to an endless cycle of attacks and
retaliations, but it actually strains credulity that the attackers were
waiting around for seventy years to take their revenge. “Three Coptic Christians Brutally Murdered in Egypt,” International Christian Concern, March 11, 2022:
03/11/2022 Egypt (International
Christian Concern) – On March 1, three Coptic Christian brothers were
brutally murdered by a group of six Muslims who claimed the attack was a
“revenge killing” after the death of their own family member seventy
years ago. The three brothers, Youssef Youssef Youssef, Afifi Youssef
Youssef and Bushra Youssef Youssef, were working in an agricultural at
the time of their death.
Their attackers, from Jaweer village,
shot the men in Ibshadat village of Mallawi district and then cut and
mutilated their bodies. The attackers reportedly danced as they
committed their crime. The village from which they came also celebrated
with musical instruments when they heard the news….
Some remarked
that the mutilating of the corpses made it clear that the violence was
linked to religious identity and mirrored the killings of the Islamic
State. According to an ICC source, those responsible for the
killing returned to their village saying “Allahu Akbar” or “God is
Greater”.
The men were swiftly captured and arrested by the police and
later confessed their crimes and even demonstrated how they killed the
Christian men….
