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."
Another Malaysia Boleh Moment- The FBI and CIA versus the Malaysian Special Branch
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
This story is about the CIA, FBI and our very own MSB (Malaysian Special Branch) ...
The Law Enforcement Agencies from all over the world met at their annual meeting held at Langley, USA recently. One of the events was that the respective agencies must try to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals.
After the preliminary rounds, the MSB (Malaysian Special Branch), the FBI and the CIA made it to the final. The US President decides to give them a test. He asks each of them to flush out and catch a rabbit from a nearby forest.
The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all the plant and mineral witnesses. After three hours of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.
The FBI goes in. After two hours with no leads they started shooting everything that moved in the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.
The MSB goes in. They came out one hour later with a badly beaten semiconscious bear. The bear was yelling: "Okay! okay! I'm a rabbit!......
