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."
BCF : “If you are supporting our prisoners,
you are supporting some of the best people on the planet,” stated
Coalition for Civil Freedoms (CCF) prisoner and family support coordinator Nada Dibas during a recent webinar on “Ramadan Behind Bars.”
These “best people” — CCF’s clients — include terrorists in American prisons. Yet to Dibas and panelists like the Islamist, slavery-defending Georgetown University professor Jonathan Brown, they’re victims of America’s Islamophobia.
Brown’s branch of the dhimmitude industry is a family affair. Dibas noted that Brown, former director of Georgetown’s Saudi-founded
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding and
now Alwaleed professor of Islamic civilization, is a CCF board member.
Brown, in turn, observed that his sister-in-law, Leena Al-Arian, is CCF’s executive director, an unsurprising family connection,
since “CCF was actually founded in our basement,” he said. Brown’s
wife, Al Jazeera senior producer Laila Al-Arian, is Leena’s sister.
At CCF’s 2010 founding, the patriarch of the Al-Arian family, Brown’s father-in-law, Sami Al-Arian,
lived with him while under house arrest after his conviction for
providing material support to Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists. In
2015, the U.S. deported Al-Arian to Turkey after he pleaded guilty to supporting a terrorist organization.
