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."
Germany: Berlin police may no longer report attacks on Jews and gays
Thursday, May 19, 2022
HT RoP : The Berlin government likes to pretend that it
is particularly friendly to minorities. But in future, when attacks
against Jews and homosexuals take place, the police will no longer be
allowed to report them to associations that help the victims. The data
protection commissioner ensures this.
Muslim attacks Jews in Germany
In future, the Berlin police may not transmit data on assaults to
victim support institutions and counselling centres – because of data
protection. This is what the data protection commissioner of the Berlin
law enforcement agencies has decreed, as reported by the newspaper
Berliner Zeitung. His reasoning in a memo seems absurd:
“In order to
prevent re-identification”, the information transmitted must not
describe the crime, nor the place, for example the street, the time of
the crime or the age of those involved. A note obtained by the Berliner
Zeitung states that any reference to a person must be prevented:
“The
reference to a person includes all information that refers to a person.
Every description of human behaviour or human characteristics has a
reference to a person. The description of a crime therefore relates to a
person.
