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."
HT RoP : Dr. Nidal Muhanna could have sent a colleague to Tel Aviv Sourasky
Medical Center that night, but felt obligated ‘to set a different
example.’
(April 13, 2022 Israel21c) At 9:30 pm on April 7,Dr. Nidal Muhanna
was driving his family home to Umm al-Fahm, an Arab Israeli city in the
Haifa district,when he received a phone call from professor Ronni
Gamzu, CEO of the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center.
Gamzu told Muhanna, chief of head and neck surgery and cancer
research Sourasky, that 10 victims of a terror attack on Tel Aviv’s
Dizengoff Street had been rushed to the hospital. One of them urgently
needed the expertise of an ear-nose-throat specialist, and he asked
Muhanna to send a colleague as soon as possible.
Instead of finding another physician, Muhanna immediately dropped off his family and “flew to Tel Aviv.”
“When I arrived, [the patient] was already in an operating room in
immediate danger of death. Together with a team of professional surgeons
and anesthetists, I was able to stop the bleeding and stabilize her
until she was out of danger,” said Muhanna.
