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."
Activist under probe slams PM's silence at UN on Mahsa Amini's death By Alyaa Alhadjri

Malaysiakini : A human rights activist under police probe for participation in
a candlelight vigil held over the death of 22-year-old Iranian, Mahsa
Amini, has questioned Malaysia’s silence over the incident which has
sparked widespread protests within and beyond Iran.
Suaram
coordinator Wong Yan Ke said he was one of four individuals questioned
at the Petaling Jaya District police station this afternoon over the
candlelight vigil held outside the Iranian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur last
Saturday.
Met at the Suaram office in Petaling Jaya,
Wong, who described the police probe on activists as a waste of public
resources, said the government through Prime Minister Ismail Sabri
Yaakob had missed an opportunity to state Malaysia’s stand during his
New York trip to speak at the 77th United Nations General Assembly.
“Regarding
the case of Mahsa, we request the international community to take
action, put pressure on the Iranian government to respect the rights to
freedom of expression and rights of women in Iran.
Maimun : And you all expect this half past six to do something?
