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."
Polygraph : On February 25, Globe Eye News, a blue-checked X account, claimed
that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud promised
Saudi women the freedom to choose what to wear.
Global Eye News’ post, which had gained nearly 8 million views by the
time of this writing, features a photograph of Prince Salman next to
the picture of a group of women wearing black burkas, a type of loose
female attire that covers entire body and face except for the palms.
The post states:
"Saudi Prince Salman: From now on, only Saudi Arabian women can decide what clothing Saudi Arabian women will wear."
That is misleading.

Polygraph.info could not find any recent interview with or statement
by the Saudi Arabian prince about his nation’s dress code for women.
While Saudi Arabia does not have a law laying out a dress code for
women, they are expected to dress in accordance with Sharia law.
Prince Salman made that clear in a March 19, 2018, interview with CBS:
“The laws are very clear and stipulated in the laws of Sharia: that
women wear decent, respectful clothing, like men. This, however, does
not particularly specify a black abaya or a black head cover. The
decision is entirely left for women to decide what type of decent and
respectful attire she chooses to wear.”
