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."
NOT so great britain : Now police are legally bound to crack down on ‘noisy’ protests By Christine Douglass-Williams

UK Protests
Robert Spencer : Leftists are increasingly waging war against the freedom of
expression and embracing the cancel culture. “Conservative” Boris
Johnson has shown many similarities to Justin Trudeau, from his handling
of immigration policy and public scandals to how he deals with protests.
Over in Canada, Ottawa police have announced
a crackdown in advance on a “Rolling Thunder” motorcycle freedom event
that was expected to attract thousands to Ottawa. Vehicle exclusion
zones in downtown Ottawa will be implemented to prevent anything
developing that is remotely similar to the February Freedom Truck
Convoy.
And now in Britain, this new law gives police the authority to “clamp
down on otherwise peaceful protests if they are deemed too ‘noisy’ and
cause ‘intimidation or harassment’ or ‘alarm or distress’ to the
public.”
It isn’t clear how “too noisy” will be measured or what “intimidation
or harassment” constitutes, and that’s exactly the problem. There is
altogether too much latitude for police “discretion” here, and can
easily be used to clamp down on dissent.
