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."
Tucker Carlson hails England for leaving behind a civilisation when they quit India - He is so frigging wrong
Saturday, September 10, 2022
Racism, economic exploitation, and unabashed loot define the ācivilisationā that the British imparted to Indiaā. Eeven the word "loot" was stolen from India.
The Britishers also stole the much-vaunted Kohinoor diamond from
India and spirited it away to England, where it was set in the platinum
Crown created for the British monarch.
The story of its thievery with
laced with subterfuge, immorality, and cruelty. The diamond was taken
away from the treasury of the Sikh Empire by Lord Dalhousie, the
Governor General of India in 1849, when Duleep Singh, son of Maharaja
Ranjit Singh, was 11 years old. The British took the diamond by force
and peddled a false narrative that it was gifted by the king to the
Queen.
Tucker Carlson should educate himself, how the British Looted India
In addition to this, Great Britain is also responsible for
engineering the Bengal famine in 1943, when three million people died
due to starvation or malnutrition. The Bengal famine of 1943 was not a
result of a severe drought but it was caused by a complete failure of
the policy of the then-British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who
diverted essential food rations to Greece and other European countries
even when they did not need it while people in Bengal continued to die
of starvation. The resilience of Indian civilisation and its millennia-old ethos helped power Indiaās rise, not British benevolence of ācivilisingā the colonised.
It is Indiaās millennia-old civilisational ethos that prizes forgiveness over vengeance, collective growth over bitter resentment, and the sanctity of life over materialistic growth, which lifted it out of the abyss that Britain had left it and subsequently propelled the country to being the 5th largest economy in the world, in just over 75 years after its independence. England did not leave behind any ācivilisationā to India, it was Indiaās civilisational resilience that powered her growth despite suffering two centuries of cruelly oppressive British rule.
