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 scared, all right thinking Malaysians were sorely pissed off....

I take issue with this statement, "Some of our Umno leaders, whenever they speak, focus only on issues pertaining to the Malays, tenders for the Malays and brandishing the kris (Malay dagger). When the other races see this, they get scared."- Mat Taib. He is flattering himself, thinking that we were scared of racists, condoned and cheered on by a majority of them. Let me explain, we who have seen death in the eyes ain't that easy to scare! We were rightfully disgusted with your childish tantrums demanding for more rent. That was it, nothing more. We also saw that you were true blue rednecks. That was all. Nope, we were not scared at all. You think, we will roll over, dream on. No, we were not scared. It is you who should be scared as you are imploding. The dossiers on you are thick, it is a matter of time before justice descends on you like a lightning bolt. Yes, it is your turn to get scared. It is better to start feeling it now. Yes, all right thinking Malaysians were sorely pissed off, not scared.
We proved it that we were not scared by voting your sorry arses out off 5 states! Consider yourself lucky this time. The next time around, you will be the new opposition in Malaysia. Just get used to it.
