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."
Mamakthir's stupidity, with our tourism and oil palm industry. Just to please Terroristan/Pakistan and the Turkeys, Financial Express has quoted a senior official saying that the contract for the 45,000-ton fleet support ships (FSS) for the Indian Navy with the Turkish Company could be indefinitely delayed due to Turkey's UNGA statements.
Turkish company Anadolu Shipyard, which is one of three shortlisted
companies for the selection for the FSS (fleet support ship) project of
the Indian Navy may have to bear the brunt for
its President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s unwarranted utterances on Jammu
and Kashmir in the recently concluded United Nations General
Assembly(UNGA). The company’s collaboration with the Hindustan Shipyard
Limited (HSL) for the FSS project pegged at $2.3 billion is likely to be
put on a hold.

saying that the contract for the 45,000-ton fleet support ships (FSS)

delayed due to Turkey’s UNGA statements.
The officer further
speculated that the delay maybe because of the fallout with Turkey at
the UNGA following its President’s remarks on Jammu and Kashmir. “It
could be a result of Turkey warming up to Pakistan and raising Kashmir
issue at the recently concluded 74th United Nations General Assembly
(UNGA),” said the officer.
