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."
Daily Mail : How Jihadi brothers and their Jew-hating ISIS friend slaughtered 17 innocent victims in 3-day terror rampage. On January 7, 2015, two Islamist brothers stormed the
offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and committed
Franceās worst terror attack in a generation.
Twelve innocent victims
were slaughtered during the jihadistsā massacre, which sent shockwaves
around the world and inspired millions to rally for free speech under
the powerful āJe Suis Charlieā slogan. Cherif and Said Kouachi, the
AK47-wielding, masked-up murderers acting on behalf of Al Qaedaās branch
in Yemen, sought to avenge the Prophet Muhammad, who they felt was
lampooned by the publicationās controversial cartoons.
Simultaneously, a crazed ISIS fanatic co-ordinated with
the Kouachi brothers to unleash his own rampage fewer than 24 hours
later. Ahmed Coulibaly, of Malian descent, shot dead a policewoman and
critically injured a street-sweeper as the nation grieved the Charlie
Hebdo atrocity. The next day, the Jew-hating terrorist volleyed bullets
at customers and staff in a kosher supermarket. Four were executed
during the siege.
Here, minute by stomach-churning minute and in stirring
detail, MailOnline retraces the horrifying attacks that saw 17 people
murdered during a brutal three-day frenzy.
