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."
Final attempt to brainwash the Military through hate
Thursday, April 25, 2013
From Malaysiakini Dr M: Pakatan rule will herald 'failed Islamic state' Onyourtoes: Former
PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad, when you spoke to the Navy personnel, you ought
to tell them whether the country has managed its military expenditure
properly and prudently. You asked the voters not to be swayed by emotions or hatred. What an irony; were these not what you use against the opposition? You
warned the voters of racial tensions if DAP leader Lim Kit Siang wins
Gelang Patah. Now you tell the voters of the possibility of a failed
Islamic state. I have never seen a person your age as treacherous
as you. What devil right have you got to say on anything when your
whole life is an embodiment of corruption, racism, abuse of power,
grandeur, mega-mania, contradiction and hypocrisy? Retnam:
Why does Mahathir have to talk to the Navy people at this time? The
information given by the secret service must be that the Navy and Army
and Air Force personnel are leaning towards the opposition. Next
Tuesday, postal ballot voters will do their voting. So this looks like a
last-minute campaigning for the postal ballots. This is indeed a good
sign for Pakatan. Apa Ini?: Through the
politics of fear, he has cultivated and nurtured the likes of Ibrahim
Alis, big and small, and insulted the intelligence of all Malays. If
the Malays, the majority group, fail to compete with others on a level
playing field, they will never learn the rules apart from the rules of
privilege. They will never be seen as equals and thus never be truly
respected. Tehachapi: This is a clear abuse of power by Mahathir, trying to brainwash these young naval officials. However,
these men and women in uniform are smart thinking people and we are
confident that they will not be fooled easily by seductive, but
deceitful lies. Choose they must between the path leading to
national ruins due to worsening corruption, or the path of clean and
just government. Umno is incapable of leading change because it is pursuing an obsolete strategy founded on race and religious superiority.
The
direction the country had taken was the main reason for our current
problems. Instead we should elect a clean government which embraces
national unity and diversity as valuable resources to improve our
capabilities to compete in the new world. Umno-BN is too
distracted and too self-absorbed as to pay attention to the problems
that ordinary citizens face each day. Vote for change and hope, not
stasis. Make a rational choice based on truth and facts, not emotions. Freemsia: What a minute, I believe Mahathir is advocating for mediocrity rather than meritocracy. Worse
still, he was preaching this to our nation finest? Don't the best
deserved the best? Best machinery and equipment for our armed forces,
led by the most capable officers. No wonder we bought submarines
that cannot submerge. No wonder we cannot handle the Lahad Datu
incident. No wonder we have Ahmad Zaid Hamidi as our defence minister. Now
he is also telling us to vote ‘okay' candidates to lead our ‘okay'
country and there is no need to strive for the best. Just ‘average' can
do. Apa Nama: Mahathir, Malaysia is already a
failed state as far as education, finance and social justice are
concerned. These three pillars were damaged by you during your 22 years
of useless administration. While you were education minister,
you destroyed our education system. So what failed state you are talking
about when it has already failed in many fields. Abasir: Only
a failed Islamic state as defined by Mahathir will allow the thieving
of state assets by cronies, the murder of Mongolians with the connivance
of crooked lawyers, the thuggery of policemen, the production of sex
videos and their public broadcasting, the use of mat rempits against
citizens and the worshiping of evil doers like Mahathir a/l Iskandar
Kutty.
Cala: Where is Mahathir's logic? As usual, this tirade from Mahathir is boring and lacking in facts. First,
Malaysia is a secular state, so where is Mahathir leading us to in his
argument? Recall Karpal Singh's vehement protest at PAS' proposal to
turn Malaysia into an Islamic state. Second, a close look at the
World Bank's annual worldwide governance indicators confirmed that
Malaysia has been badly managed in terms of rule of law, corruption,
etc. Mahathir ought to account for his role in sending the country into
this sordid state.
Third, the dim light at the end of the tunnel
to reverse Malaysia's misfortune at the hands of Umno-led BN regime is
the hope that Pakatan is bringing to the people. Finally, if
Malaysia is doing so well as claimed by Mahathir, why is Najib said
change is underway and he can do better in reforming the country than
Pakatan? Anticonmen: You lost to PAS in 1969 but put the blame on the Chinese. You now robbed us of billions of ringgit but put the blame on Islam.
