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."

From the river to the sea
HT RoP : New York rally's blatant support of terrorism
The Al-Awda rally made a clear statement that the group sees killing of Israeli civilians as "resistance" worth hailing and that its goal is the end of Israel.. Op-ed.
It should surprise no one that the New York chapter of Al-Awda, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, used recent rioting on Jerusalem's Temple Mount as an opportunity to spew lies, support terrorism, and advocate for more violence against Israel.
"But we say unapologetically and boldly: Hamas are freedom
fighters! PFLP are freedom Fighters! Islamic Jihad are freedom fighters!
Fatah armed forces are freedom fighters! All of our people in Palestine
are freedom fighters," Lamis Deek, an attorney and Al-Awda's New York representative exclaimed Saturday.
Al-Awda has a history of embracing terrorism and calling for the destruction of the state of Israel. It has co-sponsored rallies in which crowds chanted
"Smash the settler Zionist state,"
"We don't want two states. We want '48," and
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."
