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."
Meloni’s Italy: Muslim Mob Stops Police from Shutting Down Illegal Mosque
Wednesday, December 21, 2022
A mob of Muslims in the Italian city of Florence blocked a local bailiff from repossessing an illegal mosque, with hundreds of people preventing police from entering.

A bailiff and local police attempted to take back
a former garage in Piazza dei Ciompi being used as a mosque after the
owner of the property refused to renew the contract with its operator
due to money being owed.
On Friday morning, hundreds gathered in front of the mosque to stop
police from entering the premises, as well as the local bailiff and
legal representation for the property owner, the newspaper Il Giornalereports.
Florence imam Izzedin Elzir commented on the
attempted eviction, saying: “We do not know if there will be a
postponement of the eviction, we are here to pray. We will not leave
until we find an alternative.”
“I thank those who do their part to guarantee the rights of all: part
of this right is that of property and must be guaranteed, we are the
first to say that we must give the space back,” he claimed.
Matteo Salvini, Italian deputy prime minister and leader of the League
(Lega) party, criticised the mosque, saying: “If I illegally occupied a
shop or an apartment for a year and a half, the public force would ask
me to leave them. It works like this in any civil country, Italian or
foreign.”
