Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
Finance Twitter : Mahathir has the cheek to say Chinese students should not be given
the equal treatment as Malay students because the former have rich
parents.
Hey, itās not Chinese fault that majority of the Malays can
only work for the government. It was Mahathirās previous racist and discrimination policies that allow only Malays the easy path to civil service.
And it was Mahathirās grand privatization that gave birth to the
so-called GLCs (government-linked companies) and look at who is the top-15 Chief Executives who were supposed to run the companies they were entrusted with, but they made a āHebat Negarakuā music video instead.
Racism breeds complacency, which in turn breeds incompetency and corruption and money laundering.
After 3-million UMNO members were given the privilege to hijack
scholarships, now Mahathir wants to do the same thing again in the hope
of distributing the goodies more fairly but in the process the Chinese
will be discriminated (again). It surely doesnāt sound like a fair new government, does it?
Perhaps Mahathir should investigate why the Malays canāt afford to pay for their children education.
