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."
Former Migrant to Britain Guilty of Beheading Americans
Sunday, April 17, 2022
El Shafee Elsheikh, cold blooded Muslim killer
HT RoP : A former British citizen, a member of Islamic State, was convicted in
US (Virginia) on Thursday. El Shafee Elsheikh, the convict, was member
of Islamic State terrorist cell nicknamed "The Beatles" for their
British accents. He took part in the infamous Islamic State
hostage-taking plot that led to the beheading of American journalists
and aid workers.
ElSheikh's trial went on for six-week and the jury took four
hours to deliberate before declaring him guilty. The trial saw
testimonies from some former hostages who were released by the "Beatles"
after long negotiations. They spoke about the torture they endured.
Family members of the deceased victims also testified.
Elsheikh
was born in Sudan and raised in London. His British citizenship was
withdrawn in 2018. He was accused of killing four American hostages:
James Foley, Steven Sotloff, Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller.
Foley
and Sotloff were journalists while Kassig was an aid worker. These men
were killed in videotaped beheadings. The US officials have said that
Kayla Mueller was raped repeatedly by Islamic State leader Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi. She died in Syria.
Another of the cell's members,
Alexanda Kotey, was held in Iraq by the US military before being flown
to the United States to face trial. Kotey pleaded guilty last September
to the murders of Foley, Sotloff, Mueller and Kassig.
