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."
Rahul Gandhi again avoids putting up image of gods for wishing on Hindu festivals, Kejriwal puts his own picture on Ram Navmi
Sunday, April 10, 2022
Arvind Kejriwal,Rahul Gandhiis seen in a skullcap and is definitely a Muslim praying at a grave avoids posting Prabhu Ram image on posts
It is pertinent to note that Abrahamic beliefs such as Islam and
Christianity do not endorse multiple gods and their depiction. In Islam,
the depiction of idols and human forms of God are considered 'haram'.
Idolatry is one of the biggest sins in Islam.
The insincerity of secular-liberal opposition leaders in wishing
Hindus on the festivals was once again on display on Sunday as they
attempted to āseculariseā the Hindu festivals by avoiding posting images
of Hindu deities.
On Sunday, the nation celebrated the auspicious festival of Ram
Navami with great pomp and grandeur. Ram Navami is one of the most
significant Hindu festivals as it marks the birth anniversary of Bhagwan
Shree Ramchandra. People from all walks of life took to social media
platforms to wish Hindus whole-heartedly on the occasion of Ram Navami.
However, opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief
Minister Arvind Kejriwal indulged in turning Hindu festivals into a
political spectacle. The āsecularā politicians resorted to a balancing
act by wishing half-heartedly to Hindus on the one hand while keeping
the wish a low profile event and not to anger its core voter
constituencies, i.e., the minority voters.
Rahul Gandhi, who has a history
of wishing Hindus half-heartedly on their festivals, took to Twitter on
Sunday to extend wishes on the occasion of Ram Navami. The
unenthusiastic wish from Rahul Gandhi followed his usual routine not to
post any images of Hindu deities as he conveyed his wishes.
