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."
Nigeria: Muslims murder 14 Christians, including women and children
Monday, April 18, 2022
Robert Spencer : The world yawns. No matter how many jihad massacres of this kind there
are, the establishment media will never be interested, as they don’t fit
the standard media narrative of Muslim victimhood. “Fulani Militants Kill 14 Christians in Nigeria,” International Christian Concern, April 12, 2022:
04/12/2022 Nigeria (International
Christian Concern) – Fulani militants killed 14 Christians, including
women and children, in Nigeria’s Benue State on Monday night. The attack
happened around midnight in the Tarka Local Government Area, close to
the state capital of Makurdi. Pictures from the scene show the
deceased lying on the ground, with wounds that appear to be machete
cuts. A boy as young as three years old can be seen in one of the
photos.
Benue State is predominantly Christian, and its governor,
Dr. Samuel Ortom, has long spoken out against the continued violence in
the region. Governor Ortom’s continued advocacy for the protection of
Christians in the state has made him a prime target of Fulani militants,
who attempted to assassinate the governor in a 2021 attack.
According
to The Observer Times, a Fulani group claiming to protect Fulani
interests took responsibility for the 2021 attack in a press statement:
“Our courageous fighters carried out this historic attack to send a
great message to Ortom and his collaborators,” the group claimed in a
statement signed by Umar Amir Shehu. “Wherever you are, once you are
against Fulani long term interest, we shall get you down.” Last
year, Nigeria earned the distinction of being the worst country for
Christian persecution in ICC’s 2021 Persecutor of the Year Awards.
Radicalized and armed Islamist Fulani militants have killed tens of
thousands of Christians and left more than 3 million displaced in a
20-year genocide against them….
