Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
India: Muslims target yet another Hindu festival, Hanuman Janmotsav By Ashlyn Davis

Muslim Mob
Robert Spencer : Hard on the heels of the gruesome attacks on Ram Navami, the Hanuman
janmostav celebrations saw homicidal Muslims again attacking Hindus.
Amid chants of āAllahu akbar,ā hundreds of skullcap-sporting men
descended upon the streets, brandishing naked swords and started
attacking Hindu processions with stones and liquor bottles. Vandalizing
Hindu businesses and properties is always a part of the process.
This didnāt happen in some remote corner of the densely populated
country, but in the capital city, right under the nose of the Home
Ministry and in front of the police. āPeople started running, leaving
their vehicles behind. I was trying to remove everyone from the
violence-hit area; I was saving people when I was hit with stones,ā stated
Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police Arun Kumar.
The unruly crowd hounded
the police and wounded several cops and civilians. After being shot by
the rioters, one inspector had to be rushed to the hospital. The
National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has taken suo moto
cognizance of the mobās use of children to throw stones during the riot.
