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."
National Feedlot Centre case to be reopened - Soooory la Cowgirl, having a low profile since the election won't help
Thursday, May 24, 2018
Malaysiakini : In wake of the renewed probe into the 1MDB scandal, the Pakatan
Harapan's government has announced that will be reopening the National
Feedlot Centre (NFC) case next.
In a post uploaded on the Amanah party Facebook page, it said new
Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Salahuddin Ayub has said
the case will be reopened "in line with the new Harapan government's
manifesto to reopen cases involving (alleged) misappropriation
scandals".
Salahuddin, who is also Amanah deputy president, had also told Astro
Awani that he would be proposing to the cabinet that the controversial
cattle-breeding and beef-supply project be continued. He reportedly said this was because that project would be reviewed
and if necessary, rebranded, as he felt it could still benefit the
people. "I need to be more objective. We come not to seek revenge, but I see that the goal of the NFC is good and pure.
"With the NFC, at least we can attain up to 30 percent (beef) meat
supply for local use. I am confident the youth are interested in
breeding (cattle) and as such, (the government) will assist this,"
Salahuddin was quoted saying in the interview last night.
