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."
When
hundreds of armed foreigners "invaded" Sabah, our Police and Armed
Forces pussy footed. Give water, hold negotiations, and even gentlemanly
pleaded them to leave peacefully. Our Police treated them like VIPs.
Unarmed Bersih and Hindraf protesters (only armed with salt and water bottles ) are
tear gassed and shot with chemically laced water cannons and some even
attacked indiscriminately by dozens of policemen injuring dozens.
Looks
like Police treats armed foreigners with tons of respect but civilian
Malaysians are treated like enemies. Is the term bullying applicable ?
Solution
: Ask Dr M to lead the negotiations . He will offer citizenship and
every family be given 10 acres of FELDA land. No need to waste time and
save money on bullets. All soldiers and Policemen can go home to their
families !! One condition must swear to vote for BN ! Sometimes we
wonder what happened to the billions we spend on defences every year
like submarines that cannot sink, helicopters, fighter jets with missing engines and so on. Where
do our monies go to. Cannot even against defend 100 intruders. Hat tip: Commander Thaya
