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."

An alternative history of the Jawaharlal Nehru family I ...

New Delhi, India – Israel’s relentless bombing
of the besieged Gaza Strip and killing of nearly 6,000 people – a third
of them children – in two weeks has outraged people across the world,
triggering mass protests and a call for an immediate ceasefire.
However, in India – the first non-Arab country to recognise the
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), but now seen closer to Israel
and its biggest benefactor, the United States – some pro-Palestine
protesters reported being targeted by the government.
Less than a week after the Gaza assault began, police in Hamirpur
district of India’s most populous Uttar Pradesh state were looking for
Muslim scholars Atif Chaudhary and Suhail Ansari. Their alleged crime:
putting a WhatsApp display photo that said: “I stand with Palestine.”
The two men were charged with promoting enmity between social groups.
Ansari is under arrest, while Chaudhary is on the run, according to the
police.
