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."
Britain to proscribe Iran's Revolutionary Guard as terror group – report
Tuesday, January 03, 2023
Terror group...
In hot soup...
Disguised as revolutionary troop...
Guarding lives or acting as gods
In high heaven loop..
Now in headlines in news scoops...
For wanton breach of justice so low to stoop...
For following religiously mullahs orders in a swoop...
For revellers celebrating with a whoop...
Politics embossed with religion is way of nincompoop - Loga
Malaysiakini : Britain will
officially declare Iran's Revolutionary Guard, which has arrested seven
people with links to the United Kingdom over anti-government protests,
as a terrorist group, the Telegraph reported yesterday, citing sources.
The
move, which will be announced within weeks, is supported by Britain's
Security Minister, Tom Tugendhat, and Home Secretary Suella Braverman,
the report said.
Proscribing
Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group would mean that it
would become a criminal offence to belong to the group, attend its
meetings and carry its logo in public.
The UK Home Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Telegraph report.
Iran's
Revolutionary Guards last week arrested seven people with links to
Britain over anti-government protests that have rocked the country
following the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian who
was arrested for wearing "inappropriate attire" under Iran's strict
Islamic dress code for women.
Britain's Security Minister Tom Tugendhat
Britain's
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Wednesday urged Iran to stop detaining
dual nationals, saying the practice should not be used to obtain
"diplomatic leverage".
