Fighting Seventh
The Fighting Rangers On War, Politics and Burning Issues
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."

MEFORUM : The antisemitism roiling Canadian university campuses following the October 7, 2023, attacks in Israel by Hamas has been extensively
documented. As university leaders largely turn a blind eye, Jewish
students and faculty members face targeting by their peers who use
anti-Zionism and accusations of āanti-Palestinian racismā to justify
their incendiary rhetoric and actions.
Universities that tolerate the normalization of
extremism will produce graduates who view terrorism as a legitimate form
of resistance rather than a criminal act.
However, recent events at major universities across the country
highlight an escalating and disturbing trend: Individuals and
organizations who dominate teaching faculties, student unions, and DEI
departments actively excuse and promote terrorism and radical Islamist
ideologies. Under the pretext of academic discussion and political
advocacy, universities grant a platform to extremists who openly support
violence, glorify terrorism, and seek to undermine Canadaās national
security.
Terrorism Glorified and Normalized on Campuses
Solidarite
Palestine Ć lāUQAM, the University of Quebec in Montreal chapter of
Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR), held a screening of a documentary
titled āGaza Ghetto Uprisingā on February 18, 2025. The event poster
featured an image of the October 7 attacks, showing Palestinians
entering Israel to conduct their massacre.
According to details
mentioned in the poster, the organizersāwho did not respond to a request
for comment from Focus on Western Islamism (FWI)ādiscussed
āthe urban guerrilla tactics implemented since October 7 by the
Palestinian resistance and Israeli counterinsurgency techniquesā to
study āthe practical and strategic lessons offered by the Palestinian
resistance in Gazaā and āhow to confront it [Israeli
counterinsurgency].ā
The post evokes the words of alleged Palestinian
terrorist, Basel al-Aāaraj, who was killed by Israeli forces in a firefight in 2017. An updated event poster shows that the event was moved to a different venue within the university campus following pressure from Jewish groups.
