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."

It’s the same story the world over. When the truth about jihad activity
is told, some Muslims fly into a rage and claim that they have been
insulted or even endangered, and non-Muslim authorities fall into line.
Intimidation works. That’s why we keep getting more of it. Singapore to ban Kashmir Files citing ‘one-sided portrayal of Muslims’, Shashi Tharoor uses it to target Modi govt, Vivek Agnihotri responds. Quoting Tharoor, Agnihotri said, "Singapore is the most regressive censor in the world. It even banned The Last Temptations of Jesus Christ." He also shared a long list of films that were banned by Singapore for one or the other reason.

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has responded to Congress leader Shashi
Tharoor who had used Singapore’s ban on The Kashmir Files movie to
target the Modi government. Tharoor had shared a
media report that mentioned the film would not get classification in
Singapore for ‘one-sided portrayal of Muslims’. He wrote, “Film promoted
by India’s ruling party, #KashmirFiles, banned in Singapore.” Quoting Tharoor, Agnihotri said, “Singapore is the most regressive
censor in the world. It even banned The Last Temptations of Jesus
Christ.” He also shared a long list of films that were banned by
Singapore for one or the other reason.
Tharoor shared a report that called Kashmir a ‘disputed region’
The excerpt of the report that
Tharoor shared in his tweet called Kashmir a ‘disputed region’ in the
first line. It reads, “A movie on the exodus of Hindus from the disputed
Muslim-majority Kashmir region will be banned in Singapore.”
Interestingly, Tharoor had cropped the portion where the report
mentioned Kashmir as a ‘disputed region’ and shared only the portion
that suited his agenda.
