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."
Trueglitter: It is said “desperate situation
requires desperate measures” which is why the much-embattled former
prime minister, Najib Abdul Razak, is pretending to be utterly
incoherent and intelligently-challenged with his meaningless rhetoric in
face of mounting evidence uncovered by PDRM (Royal Malaysian Police) at
various residences linked to his family.
The silent majority are understandably perplexed and in great
disbelief that the unperturbed Najib should be stoically denying any
personal wrongdoings connected to accusations of his involvement in
corruption and abuse of power. Amidst the overwhelming euphoria that the nation and its citizens are
now basking in at the change of government, it would, however, be
prudent and a necessity for all Malaysians to exercise the required
restraint.That means not to be vindictive towards the fallen politicians,
particularly Najib, and to allow the law to take its natural course.
Anonymous_1fcb07f5: Najib, presumably the US
Department of Justice (DOJ) is slandering you, the Swiss authorities and
Singapore Monetary authority are also slandering you; plus, practically
the whole of Malaysia (except your lackeys and supporters) are
slandering you. That's quite a lot of people slandering you. Unfortunately for you,
the truth is out. Please have the decency not to lie to your
constituents in Pekan.
New Hope: Who will admit they are wrong? That is why there are courts to examine the evidence and determine the truth. When the courts declare that Najib did not steal, then he will be
vindicated though I very much doubt it in the light at the amount of
gold, jewels, money and handbags worth millions found in his properties. On his salary, there is no way he can earn a fraction of what has
been discovered. So, the courts will determine whether he is a thief.
Cogito Ergo Sum: You can fool some of the people all
the time. Obviously, you have been fooling the people of Pekan for 41
years with ‘dedak’ (animal feed) and blocking important information from
reaching them. But all this will end when evidence of your alleged greed will be exposed and dissected by the prosecution.
And I am sure your lawyers will try to keep postponing the matter for
as long as possible. But the matter is urgent and a certificate of
urgency must be filed by the prosecution. It is of great public interest to see how their monies have been
frittered away by an alleged kleptomaniac. It will be interesting to see
how you answer and rebut the questions put to you by the prosecutors.
Susahkes: Dear ex-PM, you once said that you
treasure loyalty above brains, but I got to admit, I didn't realise you
also apply that yardstick to your own self. You should tape yourself and listen to your own conversation if only to know how ridiculous you sound. For the life of me, I cannot fathom how you managed to stay on as PM
since 2009, for there is no explanation for the levels of ridiculousness that you have lowered yourself to.
