"I've been in few famous last stands, lad, and they're butcher shops. That's what Blouse's leading you into, mark my words. What'll you lot do then? We've had a few scuffles, but that's not war. Think you'll be man enough to stand, when the metal meets the meat?"
"You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
"Yeah, lad. But I was holding the metal"

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Ave Maria, gratia plena, dominus tecum.
Benedictus tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructis ventris, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, Ora pro nobis peccatoribus, et pauperes familias eorum.
Amen
So saddening.

'Twas a matter of time, and it is to the credit of the german security services that it took so long for a major terrorist attack to succeed on german soil while the rest of europe took the brunt of the disasters that come with unrestricted immigration from a hostile culture.
Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
