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."
Jacob Reynolds joins Tom Slater and Fraser Myers to discuss the London mayoral race, the fall of Humza Yousaf, the bigoted brats of Columbia and the Irish migration crisis. I was born in the 1960s. , I always wondered how the National Socialist Naziās rose to power with such a toxic attitudeā¦. Now I know and am watching it happen again.
As a descendant of the English on all sides of my family, who went to Australia and New Zealand, it is heartbreaking to realise I can never go back to the country of my ancestors, and not to what has become virtually an Islamic state. What I donāt understand is why any white British person would even consider voting for someone as divisive and ruinous as Khan.
I guess they arenāt watching this, but Iād like to know. Also why the British parliament seems to condone the Islamisation of London, why the so-called conservatives made no effort to put up a decent mayoral candidate against Khan? It is an outright betrayal of everything that England stands for. I do not understand what is happening. Reason seems to have long departed, or it is merely down to who is funding Khan and paying off the politicians?
Khan only said the other year that knife crime was part of living in a city. He is a stain on society.
