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."
Canadian Allegations - How Did Trudeau’s Allegations Affect International Relations?
Saturday, September 23, 2023
Padmaja Joshi discussed the prevailing issue that has surrounded India-Canada relations, in recent incidents Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has accused India for incidents in Canada regarding Khalistani movements. In support of such accusations Indian-Canadian singer Shubhneet Singh posted a distorted map of India to which he faced serious backlash from India and his tour was cancelled.
Columnist Cory Morgan said, ‘We need to see evidence. This is very serious, and one cannot just toss out allegations out there as it is impacting millions of people out there’. Political Commentator Kirk Lubimov said, ‘Couple of days ago another member of Khalistani was murdered… How many more people are there with suspicious ties in Canada?’ Also the funny thing is when Trudeau broke the news in parliament, none of the member of Parliament stood up and questioned him ... their silence seemed rather artificial.
Can you image the chaos in the Lok Sabha if Modi made a similar declaration in parliament.
