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."
A Sycophant's Letter - About Anwar, who ain't NO Saint!
Friday, May 18, 2018
The return of the Father of Refomasi! A Sycophant writes "I believe most of sane Malaysians including me can't believe that the man who had been “ardently” hated by the previous regime can now breath in the fresh air of the reborn Malaysia".
Well you were a kid, all the spin by his supporters will not erase his sins. 1. Was it not the same Anwar Ibrahim who was once honoured by the 'Islamic'
dictator of Pakistan, General Zia 'ul Haq, for his services to Islam?
Anwar was quite willing to accept such decorations, despite the fact
that General Zia was himself a willing recipient of American military
aid and he had used the radical Islamist movements to wipe out the
secular opposition
in Pakistan.
(2) And was it not the very same Anwar Ibrahim - who today calls for a
culture of tolerance and pluralism - who lead the Islamist activists as
they 'cleaned out' the local university campuses of leftist students,
'secular' ideas and everything they regarded as un-Islamic in the 1970s?
(With the help of such unlikely characters like Ibrahim Ali, one might
add.
The sycophant who wrote the letter needs to open his eyes to history. We ended up in this sorry state was because of him, he is trying to redeem himself by painting a rosy picture that he is for all Malaysians. Many of us still remember.
