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."
From Malaysiakini by Lee Long Hui .... but allowed an Old Senile Goat, well past his prime in, who happens to think he is God's gift on earth....trumpets...drum roll our "Great Leader", to spew forth lies and hate. The Chief of Navy will soon have a lot of answering to do, for allowing this to happen. PERAK For 37 years, First Admiral (Rtd) Mohamad Imran Abdul Hamid had practically called the Lumut naval base his home. Yesterday, the gates were closed to the PKR candidate for the Lumutparliamentary seat when he attempted to campaign there. Based
on his schedule, Imran was to have performed his prayers at a mosque in
the base, but he was told he could not enter wearing a party shirt.
He
cancelled the plan and instead had lunch with his campaign team at a
restaurant less than 1km from the main entrance to the base.
As
most of the other patrons are navy personnel, he took the opportunity of
greeting them as he went around table by table, while his team
distributed leaflets.
“I could get in if I change my (shirt), but
(my identity will be discovered) because (they know) my face ... If I
go in, I will be followed. This is all because I have joined a political
party that is against BN, that’s all,” he said.
“(But) I have my
influence and experience. I’ve always taken care the personnel. I hope I
can exert my influence. About 50-60 percent (of the personnel support
me).” Imran’s
campaign manager Khairil Azhar Khairuddin said the team had been
distributing leaflets at 8am and 5pm respectively for two days, outside
two entrances to the base. “Navy personnel votes are the hardest for us to get, so we can only try our best,” he said.
Imran is facing incumbent Kong Cho Ha of the BN, who survived the 2008 outing with a slim majority of 298 votes. Yesterday afternoon, Kong was
with former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamed who delivered a speech at the
base, soliciting support for the BN in the May 5 general election. As a guest, Kong shook hands with many of the personnel before leaving. Lumut
also has 12,718 voters from the armed forces and 569 from the police
force in Lumut, comprising 15 percent of the 88,300 votes. If the policies of the naval base is that no one can wear their political colours before entering, it is fair, as long as it applies to others, no matter how many years one has served with the Navy. The same terms should apply to a Supremacist party,UMNO. As was done recently by our "Great Leader".
The same opportunity should be given to the opposition, UMNO does not own the Navy! First Admiral (Rtd) Mohamad Imran Abdul Hamid, is a son of proud Malay parents, more so with such exemplary service to our country. UMNO is going to lose votes for this sleight against the Admiral.
The naval base is located in the Pangkor state constituency, which is being contested by the incumbent and caretaker Perak Menteri Besar Zambry Abd Kadir.
