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."
Germany: Muslim migrant known to police stabs random man at Berlin train station

Berlin Train Station
Robert Spencer : Berlin – Ostkreuz train station in
the early morning. Berliners are going to work, it’s full. A man (29)
stabs a passenger in the back from behind!
The victim (46) was
waiting for his S-Bahn at around 6.40 a.m. on Tuesday. Suddenly someone
bumped into him on the platform of the Ringbahn. Then the knife attack –
in the middle of rush hour.
The seriously injured man saved
himself to the security staff of Deutsche Bahn. Security was able to
catch the perpetrator and hold him until the federal police arrived.
The knife was later found in the track bed. The victim was treated at the scene by paramedics, then taken to a hospital.
The
alleged perpetrator, an Iraqi, is already known to the police. When
officers checked his personal details, they found that he had four
warrants for his arrest for property crime and violation of the
Narcotics Act.
This time, too, the Iraqi was apparently on drugs and had also consumed alcohol. The suspect was taken into police custody.
He is now being investigated, among other things, on suspicion of dangerous bodily harm and violation of the Narcotics Act.
