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."
London On The Edge: Far-Right Groups Clash With Pro-Palestine Protesters - Unacceptable, Says UK PM
Sunday, November 12, 2023
Scuffle between pro-Palestine and far-right groups during the solidarity march for Gaza in London on November 11. The pro-Palestinian march drew counter-protesters from right-wing groups on Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of World War One. More than 30,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched through central London. The UK police arrested over 120 people as they sought to stop far-right counter-protesters from ambushing the main rally.
UK should review their immigration quota this is unacceptable it’s a shame. Calling this a left and 'far right' issue (who are these far right anyway. The regular right must be extinct I haven't heard of them in years) is in my opinion not correct at all. This is more of a religious issue that covers up the bigger issue of a certain states policies of supremacy. THIS is the real problem in our country, it always has been, and the government is not helping, as a matter of fact, they caused it this weekend!
Sadly it sometimes takes a terrible event to wake people up. The atrocities committed by Hamas has clearly shown the civilized world what is happening. Peacefuls spreading peace wherever they go.
