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."
Why Palestinians Celebrate the Murder of Jews by Khaled Abu Toameh

The celebrations that took place in the West Bank and Gaza Strip after

Israel's right to exist
The celebrations
that took place in the West Bank and Gaza Strip after the recent terror
attacks in Israel are yet another sign of the growing radicalization
among the Palestinians and their refusal to recognize Israel's right to
exist.
The expressions of joy, when Palestinians took
to the streets to hand out sweets and chant slogans in support of the
terrorists, are reminiscent of the celebrations that took place when
then Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein fired missiles at Israel in 1991
during the First Gulf War, or when Hamas, Fatah, Palestinian Islamic
Jihad and other terror groups carried out suicide bombing attacks,
murdering hundreds of Israelis during the Second Intifada, which erupted
in 2000.
Apart from demonstrating the Palestinians' disrespect for human life
and support for terrorism, the celebrations once again prove that a
Palestinian who murders a Jew is a hero, whereas one who seeks peace
with Israel is a traitor.
