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."
Islam-Ruled Afghanistan Now Base of Terror Ops Against Neighbors

checkpoint, two kilometres from "Friendship Bridge" over the Amu Darya
river, which separates Uzbekistan and Afghanistan near Termez.
HT RoP : Islamabad — A regional affiliate of Islamic State on Monday said it had carried
out a rocket attack on Uzbekistan from neighboring Afghanistan, the
first strike by the terrorist group against the Central Asian nation.
Islamic State Khorasan Province fired 10 rockets at an Uzbek military
base in the border town of Termez, the group said in a statement
released Monday, according to Site Intelligence, which tracks terrorist
propaganda. Uzbek authorities did not immediately comment on IS Khorasan's claims.
The launching pad was reportedly in Hairatan, a border town in the
northern Afghan province of Balkh. The terror group also released a
photo and video of the projectiles to back its claims.
IS Khorasan has increased attacks in and around Afghanistan following
the U.S.-led foreign military withdrawal from the country in August
after 20 years. The group has carried out several attacks in neighboring Pakistan,
including a deadly suicide bombing of a Shiite mosque in the
northwestern city of Peshawar last month.
