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."
Where do you think this genocidal maniac was trained for higher command?

It is indeed "Malaysia Boleh" ! President Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir is Malaysian trained. He attended the Malaysian Armed Forces Staff Collegecourse at Haigate in 1983 ( A one year Diploma course). He was then a Colonel the higest ranking student, most of the the rest were all Majors. Normally local students are all Majors.
Image: Bashir in the 1983 Hikmat magazine (Malaysian Staff College magazine), where he aspires to be the next President of Sudan, page 50. Click to enlarge.
He stayed in a rented Link house in Bukit Malawati and drove an old 1970 Wolkswagen Beetle. He had then already made known his aspiration to be the next President of Sudan. Nearly six years later in 1989 he led a blood less coup and became Sudan's new President. Our training is aparently very effective and good for all and up coming dictators.
Sudan's backer's, in Formula One auto racing, the Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix went off without a hitch on the 23 March 2008, despite the fact that the race's corporate sponsor is one of the Sudanese government's biggest backers. Petronas, Malaysia's state-owned oil and gas company, has poured an estimated $1.5 billion into Sudan's petroleum sector, providing cash the Sudanese government can then use to finance its weapons purchases.
