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."
7INN : A new regime ruled by a former jihadist who until December had a $10 million bounty on his head, who is building an Islamic dictatorship and who has just organized a religious pogrom of Alawites is getting flooded with money from Europe.
A scandal.
An “act of faith” worth 5.8 billion euros to the “new Syria”: The
Donors Conference organized by the European Union certifies the change
of pace in the West’s relations with Damascus after the fall of Bashar
Assad’s regime and the arrival to power of Ahmad al Sharaa, known as “al
Julani”. The conference raised 5.8 billion euros in loans and grants,
80 percent of which from the EU. From the Commission alone, Ursula von
der Leyen announced, 2.5 billion euros are arriving in Damascus.
Six billion a week after the worst religious pogrom in recent history?
A
new regime ruled by a former jihadist who until December had a $10
million bounty on his head, who is building an Islamic dictatorship and
who has just organized a religious pogrom of Alawites?
It is eye-opening. Mouth-dropping.
Once
the massacres were over, the dictator welcomed in Brussels formed his
new government: 21 ministers, all Sunni Muslims and of 154 government
appointments, 150 are Sunni. Not bad for “diversity”.
Meanwhile,
the European embassies in Damascus are reopening: today the German
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock flew to Syria. Two months ago the
dictator had refused to shake her hand. But evidently there is no
“Sofagate” that can stop her.
Amine
Ayoub of the Middle East Forum warns: “You cannot go from being an
al-Qaeda affiliate to a human rights defender overnight.” He emphasized
the concept of taqiyya, used to describe the deception sanctioned by the Islamic religion to consolidate power.
Are Europeans stupid? Or a mixture of cynicism and naivety? Or is it corruption? We have seen Qatargate.
Is the EU aware that it is funding a Taliban emirate in the Mediterranean?
A
bloodthirsty Islamist coalition, responsible for the massacre of
thousands of innocents - Christians, Alawites, Druze and other
minorities - has just taken power in Damascus. The European Commission,
always ready to lecture Hungary on “rule of law” and “protection of
minorities” to the point of cutting off its funding, remains strangely
silent in the face of jihadist massacres. And when it comes out of its
silence it is to announce 2.5 billion for the Syrian Caliphate.
