“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."

Robert Spencer : They are not dangerous, they are in danger! Celebrate diversity! “Angers: three people, including a minor, killed by stabbing, a
suspect arrested,” translated from “Angers : trois personnes, dont un
mineur, tuées par arme blanche, un suspect interpellé,” Le Parisien, July 16, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):
Dramatic night in Angers. Three
people, including a 16-year-old minor, as well as two men aged 18 and
20, were stabbed to death overnight from Friday to Saturday in the
center of Angers, we learned… Three people, including a 16-year-old
minor, were also injured.
A 32-year-old suspect was arrested and
taken into custody. He was, according to a source familiar with the
matter, arrested some time after the assault and was carrying a bloody
knife. He is, according to concordant sources, a Sudanese national. He
is also in a regular situation on French territory and unknown to

situation was calm, and the officials left. “Subject to future
developments in the investigation, a first altercation occurred around 1
a.m.,” confirms Eric Bouillard in a press release. The young suspect
was then “ousted by the group of victims” before returning “later armed
to attack them.”
A suspect “not in a state to speak at the moment”
Indeed,
shortly before 3 a.m., the firefighters were called for stab wounds in
the heart of Maine sector and asked for police reinforcement. When
paramedics arrived, all three victims were alive. “They discovered a
large and sometimes aggressive crowd, with projectiles thrown at the
intervening services. Victims each of a stab wound to the chest, three
people in cardiorespiratory arrest were taken care of by the emergency
services, ”adds the prosecution. They died soon after.
“The person
designated as the perpetrator of the stab wounds” was first apprehended
“by people present” on the scene, “then suffered violence before being
taken care of by the municipal police and then the emergency services,”
according to the press release. According to our information, he himself
suffered from a few injuries, and in particular had wounds, but his
state of health is not considered serious. “Currently hospitalized, he
is placed in police custody but is not in a state to speak for the
moment,” specified Éric Bouillard. The investigation was entrusted to
the police of the departmental security of Angers.
“Dread and Sadness”
“Fear
and sadness after the brawl in #Angers. My thoughts are with the
families of the victims, ”reacted on Twitter the former mayor (Horizons)
of Angers, Christophe Béchu, who became Minister for Ecological
Transition and Territorial Cohesion in early July in the new government
of Elisabeth. Thick headed.

took place last night in #Angers, the exact circumstances of which
remain to be determined. My thoughts are with the victims and their
loved ones,” wrote the deputy of Angers François Gernigon (Horizons),
elected in the last legislative elections, in a message posted on
Twitter.
Inaugurated in 2019 and close to the city center, the

recreational green space of 3,000 m2 on the banks of the Maine River,
very busy especially on sunny days.
