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."
France: Muslim migrant screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ stabs man and his dog

Tribunal de Perpignan
Robert Spencer : The young man was tried this
Friday, April 8, 2022 in an immediate appearance before the Perpignan
Criminal Court for “repeated violence with a weapon” and “serious abuse
of an animal”
Since his arrest, he has not said a word. Neither to
the investigators during his custody, nor to the doctor who came to
examine him. He did not drop his jaw in front of the specialist in
charge of his ordered psychiatric expertise before judging him. He even
refused to speak to his own lawyer Sevki Akdag. And this Friday again,
the 28-year-old young man fixes the criminal court with a dark look, in
total silence. Impossible under these conditions to understand what went
through his head on March 1.*
Prohibition to stay on French territory
Known
for various misdeeds, twice sentenced to bans from staying on French
territory for 5 years and 3 years, he even tried one day to force his
way into the detention center to obtain a pass for Chad, of which he
calls himself a native. However, the country does not recognize him as
one of its nationals. Since then, without a fixed address, some saw him
regularly in front of a butcher’s shop in the station district of
Perpignan, standing, holding a cup to beg without ever opening his
mouth. As he approached another homeless man that day who was talking
with a friend sitting on a bench, that he took a stone out of his bag,
threw it in his direction, then threw a second.
“God is great”
And
when his target came to ask him for an explanation, he took out a knife
and struck him in the chest, shouting “Allah akbar.” The victim took
refuge in the post office to sound the alarm, went back to get his dog
and ran into the defendant, who wanted to attack him again. The animal, a
boxer cross, wanted to defend its master and also received three stab
wounds to the head and side. The injured was taken care of and evacuated
to the hospital. The dog was taken to a veterinary clinic.
“You are extremely dangerous”
“And
there, maybe you have something to say?” asks the president. “Yes, I’m
asking you for a coffee,” the defendant unexpectedly says before
immediately returning to his silence. “Outrageous, even indecent,”
indignant the victim’s lawyer, Julien Audier-Soria. “This man is a
powder keg, very worrying for society.” The court supports, “the nature
of this file leads us to believe that you are extremely dangerous,” and
sentences him to 6 years in prison (i.e. below the 5 years required by
the prosecutor), accompanied by a new ban on stay in France for 3 years.
The young man immediately leaves behind bars without a word. And with
his mysteries.
