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."
Jihad Watch : Mohammad Tawhidi is well-known as the “imam for peace” who urges
fellow Muslims to support Jews and Christians, rather than join or
defend those Muslims who attack them. He not only defends Israel, but
insists that “Palestine is Jewish land.” He warns Christians to wake up
to the Muslim peril in the West. Some think he seems too good to be
true. Is he?
Tawhidi recently was interviewed by the Christian Broadcasting Network here “We are all brothers in humanity before brothers in faith,” Tawhidi told CBN News. “Tawhidi is a third-generation Iranian-born Muslim from Australia and author of The Tragedy of Islam. “He uses his Twitter and Facebook accounts to warn the world about the growing dangers of radical Islam.”
“If Christians don’t wake up, if Christians leaders don’t wake up,
then we Muslims who fled from extremists can’t help you anymore,”
Tawhidi told CBN News in an interview. “We tried warning you.” Tawhidi has viewed with alarm the refusal of Christian leaders to
recognize the danger of Islamic “extremists”; he is no doubt thinking
especially of Pope Francis, with his absurd remark about how “authentic
Islam and the proper reading of the Quran are opposed to every form of
violence.”
And of course there are all those Christian and Jewish clerics
so ready to believe the best about Islam, to take part in those
interfaith gatherings which always end up with Christians and Jews
blaming themselves, and exonerating “real Muslims,” for terrorist
attacks, while expressing sympathy and concern for those who are the
victims of an apparently rampant “Islamophobia.” “Tawhidi says out-of-control multiculturalism and political
correctness are allowing radical Muslims with their dangerous and deadly
ideology, to flourish.”
