Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."

Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan has ripped into a man caught tearing down Israeli hostage posters in Los Angeles. Shehab Elrefai tore down posters hung up just blocks away from the LA Holocaust Museum. He started to laugh during the interview when Mr Morgan pressed him about why he tore down the posters.
āI got to be honest with you, I donāt really care about your subtle nuances or you thinking itās all entertaining or you laughing,ā Mr Morgan said. Mr Elrefai tried to highlight the number of deaths in Gaza as a result of the conflict before the Sky News Australia host interrupted, saying those deaths had nothing to do with his actions in Los Angeles.
āWhat you are doing is shockingly insensitive and inappropriate and hurtful to the family members of those taken hostage, including many young children.ā This is outrageous! Who is he to come to this country and make decisions about what gets displayed here!? These people are so full of themselves! Arrogance on wheels!
This man is an ordinary, moderate Muslim and he's revealing exactly how they think. And you want more like him in the USA?
