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."
BJP’s victory in Hathras and Lakhimpur Kheri exemplifies voters’ rejection of slanderous media narratives

The liberals' penchant for using deaths to further their petty political
propaganda is not a new phenomenon. For them, deaths are mere
statistics and dead bodies props to be used against political parties
that do not conform to their worldview.
For decades, the mainstream media and liberal ‘intellectuals’ held
the upper advantage in establishing narratives and ipso facto
influencing electoral outcomes. They spun wild stories against
candidates and the parties they wanted to see losing while whitewashing
the sins of those whom they thought were ‘appropriate’ for being elected
to power.
However, with the advent of social media, coupled with increased
consciousness among Indian voters, they were stripped of this advantage.
They could no longer pass off their personal convictions as
intellectual insights or sentiments on the ground without the threat of
being exposed by informed social media users and have eggs on their
faces.
But this has not stopped the fiction peddlers among the left
intelligentsia from spreading canards and misinformation about political
parties that do not align with their ideology. Instead, their resolve
to sow disinformation and generate a groundswell of negative sentiments
against a political party they despise has only grown stronger since.
