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."
NOT so great britain : Muslim migrant doctor who sexually assaulted nurse is cleared to treat patients again
Tuesday, May 24, 2022
Married father-of-two Imran Qureshi, 44
Robert Spencer : Married father-of-two Imran Qureshi, 44, grabbed the breast of the
21-year-old woman and told her he wanted an affair after he saw her as
‘sexually available’ because she had previous boyfriends.
The
student nurse, known only as Miss A, was said to be ‘shaken up and
distraught’ after reporting how locum senior house officer Qureshi
grabbed her chest for two seconds before trying to ‘make light’ of it
and then becoming aggressive.
But although Qureshi admitted he had
made a ‘misjudgement’, he said ‘cultural norms’ were different in the
UK compared with his native Pakistan and he had failed to spot a proverbial ‘red light’ warning him to stay away from the victim.
She claimed she found it difficult to trust male colleagues following the incident and said it had affected her studies.
Dr Imran
Quereshi has been declared fit to practise, despite having been
convicted of sexual assault in 2016 at Minshull Street Crown Court in
Manchester after grabbing a 21-year-old student nurse’s breast while at
work
In June 2017 Qureshi was suspended from medical practice for
12 months after he offered a ‘sincere deep-hearted apology’ to Miss A
and insisted it was a ‘moment of madness’ and ‘short, brief touching.’
But
after his suspension ended the following year he was made subject to
various workplace restrictions which led to him not getting any jobs in
medicine for almost five years, leaving him ‘deskilled’.
This
month at the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service in Manchester a
panel deemed Qureshi’s fitness to practise was no longer impaired after
hearing he had undertaken seven locum shifts at hospitals in Luton, Beds
and Stoke-on-Trent since a review hearing in August 2021.
GMC lawyers had earlier warned seven locum shifts was ‘not sufficient’ enough for Qureshi to be no longer labelled ‘deskilled.’…
