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."
Taliban (PUS/PISS) tells British journalists ‘we want Islamic law, and not just in Afghanistan’
Wednesday, September 08, 2021
Jihad Watch : The Taliban like all jihadists, consider themselves to be the contemporary exponents of a 1,400-year history of jihad.
They will commit the most barbaric acts to establish Sharia law, and
will also lie and manipulate. Taliban Commander Muhammed Arif Mustafa stated last month that the “mujahedin will have victory, and Islamic law will come not to just Afghanistan, but all over the world.” This new reiteration of the Taliban’s aspirations was made by another commander who gave his name as Nisar:
“We are happy that we are victorious. We fought for 20 years. We want Islamic law, and not just in Afghanistan.”
No matter how exhaustive the historic documentation is which has long
proven the nature of normative Islam’s call to expansion and conquest,
the willfully blind will never learn.
Kind-sounding, smooth words, despite how deceitful, are taken at face
value in the name of “diversity” and “tolerance.” The Taliban has lied
on numerous occasions about respecting the rights of women, while
murdering women who are uncovered, whipping them in the streets for
dressing too much like Westerners, and turning women and girls (as young
as 12) into sex slaves. A gay man was also cut in pieces to demonstrate what the Taliban will do to homosexuals.
Yet the Taliban has further stated:
“The Taliban invited The Telegraph to tea, and issued a chilling warning to the West,” by Ben Farmer, The Telegraph, September 4, 2021:
The neatly arranged office toys and management guru books
were still on the desk from the previous government official. But their
Taliban replacement had added his own executive touches, including one
of the movement’s white religious banners and a captured M4 carbine once
used by an Afghan commando.
Spotlessly turned out in white robes and a black turban, the bearded
official in his 30s was polite and offered tea, but declined to give his
name because he did not have permission to speak and only said he was a
“manager”.
“We are very happy that we are now the leaders of the government,” he told The Telegraph. “We want to have good relations with all the rest of the world. We want to work with foreigners and have good relations.”
The Telegraph’s unannounced visit to the government building now in
the hands of the Taliban was a relaxed affair. The offer of tea was made
with a warm welcome inside, part of a charm offensive by the Islamist
leaders who until not too long ago viewed Western journalists with
suspicion…….
“Taliban Tells British Press: ‘We Want Islamic Law, and Not Just in Afghanistan,’” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, September 5, 2021:
The Taliban said they want Islamic law both at home and
abroad and warned Western forces they will face another 20-year quagmire
if they return in an impromptu meeting with The Telegraph.
The right-leaning British newspaper, which is close to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government, took “tea with the Taliban” after
turning up a captured government building in Kabul, where an Islamist
official told them they were “very happy that we are now the leaders of
the government” and “want to have good relations with all the rest of
the world. We want to work with foreigners and have good relations.”
A Taliban commander from Kandahar province who the newspaper spoke to
outside another seized government building indicated that such foreign
engagement would be very much on the Islamists’ terms, however.
“We are happy that we are victorious. We fought for 20 years. We want
Islamic law, and not just in Afghanistan,” said the commander, whose
name was given only as Nisar.
“I joined the Taliban because when the Americans came, we had our
government, our culture and the Americans came and attacked us,” Nisar
explained, accusing that “They didn’t want to come for al-Qaeda, they
had their own interests and wanted to destroy our country.”
The Telegraph discovered that he could speak what they
described as “excellent English” but refused to do so, appearing to
disdain it as the language of the enemy.
The commander’s fighters held an equally low opinion of Western
forces and said they would have no place in the newly-declared Islamic
emirate in future: “They are infidels and we don’t want infidel soldiers
in our country and they don’t respect our law and our culture,” one
said.
“The West should not come another time. If they do, we will fight for
another 20 years,” another fighter warned, boasting: “This emirate will
be forever.”…
“We want to have good relations with all the rest of the world. We want to work with foreigners and have good relations.”
