7th Rangers: In Tyrol, an Afghan threatened a Shiite compatriot to “slaughter her over the back of the head”, rape her and behead her – He was allowed to do so in Afghanistan because of her religious-ethnic affiliation
Fighting Seventh
The Fighting Rangers On War, Politics and Burning Issues
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."
In Tyrol, an Afghan threatened a Shiite compatriot to “slaughter her over the back of the head”, rape her and behead her – He was allowed to do so in Afghanistan because of her religious-ethnic affiliation
A 37-year-old Afghan has been in Austria with
his family for quite some time and is probably not yet fully integrated
in Europe.
He is said to repeatedly frighten Muslim women in his
neighbourhood with remarks. He allegedly said to a female neighbour, who
belongs to the Shiite Hazara minority, that they are not regarded as
normal people in Afghanistan and that Hazara should be “slaughtered over
the back of the head”.
After the widow refused to take care of the 37-year-old’s children
for a short time, he allegedly uttered that “this is the wrong place,
but he is allowed to rape and behead her in Afghanistan”. However, the
reported statements could no longer be proven beyond doubt at the
regional court yesterday. It is also impossible to carry out the threats
now. Thus, the “milieu-related expressions of displeasure” were met
with an acquittal.
