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."
Muslim employee of US taxpayer-funded USAID contractor celebrates jihad murder of Israelis

Tel Aviv Terror Attack
Robert Spencer : Would Biden’s handlers, who include staunch opponents of Israel such
as Robert Malley and Samantha Power, care about this? Unlikely. “Employee at USAID Contractor Celebrated Terrorist Attack Against Israeli Civilians,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, April 12, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Just hours after news broke that a
Palestinian terrorist gunned down several Israeli civilians last week,
an employee for one of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s
(USAID) top contractors took to Twitter to celebrate the attack.
“The news is sweeter than a tray of knafeh [dessert] after iftar,” tweeted Rawan Abu-Salhieh, who was working at the time as a Jordan-based employee for Proximity International—a prime contractor for
USAID that is engaged in several projects that receive U.S. aid
dollars. The April 7 terror attack in Tel Aviv killed three Israelis and
left six wounded.
Abu-Salhieh routinely celebrates terror attacks
on Israel and promotes accounts that encourage violence against Jews,
according to a Washington Free Beacon review of her Twitter account. In one Twitter post from two weeks ago, Abu-Salhieh retweeted a
graphic that praised a March 29 terror attack in Israel, stating,
“shoot and don’t have mercy” and describing the assailant as a “heroic
martyr.” At least a dozen other tweets and retweets contain similar
rhetoric in support of terrorism against Israel.
Abu-Salhieh deleted
her account last week after her comments came under scrutiny from regional observers. Abu-Salhieh’s public LinkedIn profile also disappeared shortly after Free Beacon inquiries
about her posts; and a Proximity official said she no longer works for
the organization, though she was employed when some of her most
controversial tweets were published.
Abu-Salhieh’s role at an
organization that receives U.S. government funding is renewing concerns
about USAID’s vetting process, which was cited by
a government watchdog group in 2021 for its failure to ensure that
grantees are not tied to terrorism. Former USAID officials told the Free Beacon that
the agency turns a blind eye to contractors that have ties to terrorism
and employees who support it.
They say this failure to perform
oversight work on grant recipients endangers the foreign aid system and
allows taxpayer funds to enrich Israel’s detractors….
