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."
PA Calls for Violence: "Western Wall Belongs Only to Muslims"
Tuesday, May 31, 2022
PA wants religious war, calls to fight Jerusalem flag parade. In non-democratic regimes, when leaders recognize that they have lost
the support of their own people and possibly are even seen as a corrupt
enemy by their own people, they often seek conflict or war to create an
enemy to distract them from the real source of their problems.
Fatah to Palestinians: "Don't be negligent and don't let their [Israeli] flags wave in our sky”
With
PA and Fatah Chairman Mahmoud Abbas having lost support of the people,
with 80% saying his government is corrupt and a similar number demanding
he resign, and with his Fatah party facing almost certain defeat to
Hamas if the PA were to hold elections, it is not surprising that he is
trying to trigger a religious war against Jews and Israel.
Today
Israel celebrates Jerusalem’s liberation in 1967 from nearly 2000 years
of foreign occupation which ended with Jordan’s illegal 19-year
occupation (1948 – 1967). For over 30 years now, tens of thousands of
Israelis have celebrated Jerusalem Day by marching and dancing across
Jerusalem waving Israeli flags, entering the Old City through the Lion’s
Gate, and more recently the Damascus Gate. The Flag Parade ends at the
Western Wall Plaza to celebrate with music and dance.
