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."
Robert Spencer : Have they seen Linda Sarsourās TikTok channel?
The video-sharing app and the
South Korea multiplayer battle video game were largely popular among
young Afghans who have been left with fewer options of entertainment
since the Taliban came to power in August last year.
When your problem is a lack of entertainment options, the humanitarian crisis may be somewhat overstated.
āWeāve received a lot of
complaints about how the TikTok app and the PUBG game are wasting
peopleās time,ā he told Bloomberg. āThe ministry of communications and
information technology was ordered to remove the apps from internet
servers and make them inaccessible to everyone in Afghanistan.ā
Militants in Afghanistan fired
heavy weapons across the border into a Pakistani military outpost
overnight, killing three personnel, the army said Saturday, in the
latest violence to rattle the volatile region.
A firefight ensued
with the militants firing toward the army post in Pakistanās rugged
North Waziristan region, and several were killed, the statement said.
There was no immediate way to independently confirm details of the
attack.
Pakistan has already carried out air strikes before in Afghanistan. While the Taliban have been warning of serious consequences.
A war between Pakistan and its Jihadist stooges ought to be a lot more entertaining than anything on TikTok.
