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."
Dearborn Mayor Cites Strip Clubs as Proof City Not Under Sharia
Saturday, April 16, 2022
Jack O'Reilly and Pastor Terry Jones
HT RoP : Jack O’Reilly Jr., the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, has written an
open letter to publicity-seeking, Quran-burning Florida pastor Terry
Jones, in an effort to dissuade him from protesting in front of a
Dearborn mosque.
In the letter, O’Reilly tells Jones it’s ridiculous to
believe that the city is under Sharia law: “If Dearborn practiced Sharia
law, would we have three adult entertainment bars and more
alcohol-licensed bars and restaurants per capita than most other
cities?”
“None of that should be allowed under Sharia law,” O’Reilly said.
Jones has been planning a protest for Friday in front of Dearborn’s
Islamic Center of America, in opposition to “radical Islam” and Sharia
law. “There is no place better than there to present this message,” he
said. He also said he plans to bring a pistol with him, but has no plans
to burn the Quran, the Detroit News reports. Jones added that they are “coming there totally in peace.”
Dearborn is home to one of the highest percentages of Arab-American residents in the country.
