Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."

Sir David Amess
HT RoP : Man Accused of Murdering Sir David Amess Says He Killed British Politician to āHelp Muslimsāā. The suspected terrorist accused of murdering Sir David Amess told the court at the Old Bailey that he killed the Conservative Member of Parliament for voting in favour of air strikes in Syria and to āhelp Muslimsā.
Ali Harbi Ali, 26, told jurors that he is a āmoderate Muslimā but
that he had no regrets for killing veteran lawmaker Sir David Amess
during a public meeting in Leigh-on-Sea Church in Essex last October
because he thought it would āhelpā Muslims in the Middle East.
āIf I thought I did anything wrong, I wouldnāt have done it,ā Harbi Ali said, according to the BBC. ā[Sir David] voted previously in Parliament, not just himā¦ I decided
if I couldnāt make hijrah, if I couldnāt help the Muslims [in Syria], I
would do something here,ā he explained.
While he previously admitted that the attack was terrorist in nature,
Ali Harbi Ali retracted the characterisation, saying that if his
actions were considered terrorism, then he would āexpect the British
politicians who bombed Syria to use that word on themselves.ā
Harbi Ali did admit that he expected to be shot and killed as a
Muslim āmartyrā after killing Amess. Yet when two police officers
entered the building without weapons, he dropped his knife. He has also admitted that he ādeeplyā regretted not travelling to
Syria between 2015 and 2017 to join and fight with the Islamic State,
but that it was too ādifficultā.
