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."

Norway Attack
Robert Spencer : There is, of course, domestic violence in all cultures. So to post this
is just “Islamophobic,” right? Wrong: there is domestic violence in all
cultures, but only in one does it have divine sanction. Islam doesn’t
teach that man may kill his wife, but once you’ve allowed him to beat
her, accidents will happen.
“Syrian man stabs wife and a man in Norway domestic dispute, police say,” Reuters, May 20, 2022:
OSLO, May 20 (Reuters) – A Syrian
man stabbed and wounded his wife and another man in a small village in
southeast Norway on Friday, police said, adding that the attack was a
domestic dispute and there was no danger to others.
The two
victims and the attacker were all wounded in the attack, which had
triggered a major response by emergency services fearing a larger
incident, and one of the victims was in a critical condition, police
said.
“The initial victim was a woman married to the attacker,” a
police spokesperson told reporters. “There is no longer danger to other
people.” Officials initially said at least four people were injured in what had first appeared to be a random, ongoing attack. “This is a family from Syria where the perpetrator is married to one of the victims,” police said in a separate statement….
