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."

The Governor
Hat tip RoP : Governor Arif Khan has moved out of Islam by visiting Sabarimala: Sunni leader. Ambalakkadavu said there should not be any confusion about whether Khan, who remarks on hijab and Sharia, is an Islamic scholar or not.
KOZHIKODE:Sunni leader Abdul Hameed
Faizi Ambalakkadavu has said Governor Arif Mahammed Khan has ‘opened the
door out of Islam’ by offering prayers at the Lord Ayyappa Temple at
Sabarimala as a believer. In a YouTube video, Ambalakkadavu said the
governor’s remarks on hijab should not be regarded as a comment by a
Muslim. Ambalakkadavu is the working secretary of the Sunni Yuvajana
Sangham (SYS), the feeder organisation of the Samastha Kerala
Jam-Iyyathul Ulema.
Quoting the details from the news on the
governor’s visit to Sabarimala, Ambalakkadavu said Arif Muhammad Khan
has observed all the rituals followed by a faithful Hindu. “As an Indian
citizen, he has every right to believe a religion of his choice and to
follow the rites,” he said.
“Governor’s name will create an
impression that he is a Muslim by faith. He has the name of Prophet
Muhammad and Arif is the term that refers to a person who knows Allah
very closely,” Ambalakkadavu said. He said Khan has shifted political
loyalty many times for personal benefits.
