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."
A Lying Turk, AHMET DOGAN - The events of 1915 do not constitute 'genocide' - Seriously!!!!!
Sunday, September 03, 2017
What's, with the Turks, they get a free pass committing genocides? Do you know that they even wanted the insurance payments for the people they slaughtered.
It was a frigging Genocide conducted by the lying Turks! Back before World War I, when Turkey was still the Ottoman Empire, enterprising agents of the New York Life Insurance Co. began peddling policies there. They signed up 8,000 clients, half of them Armenian merchants. The attraction was obvious. A lot of these Armenians had relatives in the United States, and some planned to move there themselves. Most of them never made it.
The new Turkish rulers cast an envious eye on the insurance money. They argued that the dead Armenian policyholders would have been Turkish citizens if they had survived. Since they hadn't, their estates should go to the government. New York Life rejected this macabre proposal. The company settled the individual claims it could verify and closed the books. Over the years, when other claimants came forward, the company had a simple demand: Show me the paper. Since the Ottomans hadn't given their victims death certificates, and the new Turkish government - its own claims denied - refused to admit genocide had occurred, there was no way claims could be documented.
I have recently come across the article,
āDistil understanding from past atrocities but blame-fixing is futileā
by DAP Ipoh Barat MP M Kulasegaran published on Aug 18, 2017 in Malaysiakini, which refers to the 1915 events as āgenocideā. Turkey does not deny the suffering of Armenians, including the loss of many innocent lives during World War I.
Yet, I would like to underline the fact that the term āgenocideā was
first legally defined in the 1948 United Nations Convention on the
Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and it is not a
generic word to be used loosely. It requires unequivocal proof of existence of specific conditions
stipulated in the said convention. Above all, only a competent
international court could make an assessment of āgenocideā as in the
case of the Holocaust, Rwanda, and Srebrenica.
I would like to highlight that there has been no such decision taken
by a competent international court describing the 1915 events as
āgenocideā. The issue is still a matter of legitimate debate and there
is no political, scientific, or legal consensus to describe the events
of 1915. The specific historical background of 1915 events shaped by World War
I witnessed many tragedies for almost all nations that made up the
Ottoman Empire including Turks, Armenians and many others.
We bear witness to the suffering endured by the Armenians in this
tragic episode of history and see it as a terrible incident which
occurred in the past. That is why I firmly believe that this period
needs to be understood in its entirety.
