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."
Uttar Pradesh Waqf Board now claims historic Chandrashekhar Azad park in Prayagraj: Report

Chandrasekhar Azad Park in Prayagraj, trying to wipe out the only remaining Hindu country on earth
As
per an exclusive report by Times Now, a petition was filed before the
Allahabad High Court stating that the UP Waqf Board backed the illegal
construction of mazars and mosques on the premises of the historic
Chandrashekhar Azad Park in Prayagraj.
Days after Tamil Nadu Waqf Board claimed ownership of
7 Hindu-majority villages and a 1500-year-old temple in
Tiruchirappalli, it has come to light that the Uttar Pradesh Waqf Board
has now staked its claim on the historic Chandrashekhar Azad Park in
Prayagraj.
As per an exclusive report by Times Now, a petition was
filed before the Allahabad High Court stating that the Waqf Board backed
the illegal construction of mazars and mosques on the premises of the
public park.
In its defence, the Islamic body claimed that the mosque has been in existence in the park for about 200 years. A local told Times Now that
ādevoteesā offer prayers, candles and flower petals at the Mazar. āIt
is an illegal construction. Although part of the Mazar was damaged, they
(Muslim devotees) put up a tent to keep it operational,ā he said.
