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."
Pakistan Army Chief Invokes Two-nation Theory as Country Crumbles
Friday, April 18, 2025
Pakistan's army chief invoked the two-nation theory as he attempted to display a brave front amid a crippling economic crisis and multiple security challenges. The general declared that Pakistanis are "different from Hindus" in culture, beliefs and thought. What explains this rant by the army chief, and why now?
Who hosted Osama bin laden... ?? I never understood one thing. If the division was made on religious basis then why did the majority of Muslims stayed back? All should have gone to Pakistan. Which means only a handful of leaders like Jinnah, Gandhi and Nehru decided this without consulting the people.
Why isnāt this called Islamic nationalism when the western media screams Hindu nationalism all day!! When you say Jinnah demanded a separate country it is wrong, 95% of Muslims voted for Pakistan in 1946. My only concern is why on Earth we did no have complete population transfer, blame Gandhi and Nehru
Hindutva isnāt even limited to Hindus - it includes other dharmic faiths which originated in India like Buddhism, Jainism n Sikhism! Islam didnāt even originate in Pakistan n yet they are religiously nationalist!!
