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."
After India’s Independence and the accession of Junagarh
State into Indian Union, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the then Union Home
Minister, pledged that Somnath will be reconstructed and restored to its
original glory.
When Patel broached this subject with Mahatma Gandhi,
Gandhi endorsed the plan but said that the contribution for the
reconstruction of the temple should come from the public. Patel accepted
this advice.
With the demise of Patel, the
task of the restoration of the temple was ably led by K M Munshi, a
cabinet minister in then prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s government.
Munshi wrote , “I was clear in my mind that the temple of Somnath was
not just an ancient monument; it lived in the heart of the whole nation
and its reconstruction was a national pledge.”
Slowly but surely the excesses of the various muslim organisations are being dismantled. 73years after Independence the Constitution of India is emerging to protect, preserve and return of Hindu rights. The Congress/Khangress party and its nefarious Anti India, Anti Hindu agenda is exposed and being discredited.
Note this Cong/Khan party currently ruled by Roman Catholic family with Muslim linkages.The irony is how this family subjugated Hindus for 73 years since independence. Bastards...after 353 years since Varanasi desecration and 600years+ after Somnath... Somnath has been restored, Varanasi is on its way to being restored..no way the Muslims are going to stop this in the era of Yogi and Modi in Varanasi.
