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."
Definitely Covid 19 will take more lives here in Malaysia - Penang cops apologise over gathering outside mosque in Penang
Tuesday, July 20, 2021
Malaysiakini : Typical double standards when it comes to enforcement by the Police. These people are Suicidal, with Covid 19 rampaging.
Watching the video there is no social distancing. The Penang police have apologised for failing to prevent a gathering outside a mosque in Juru, Penang today.
The gathering took place outside the Taman Pelangi mosque.
Video clips of the incident suggested that the congregation were mostly well spaced out.
At a press conference in Penang today, state police chief Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said the cops apologised for failing to uncover plans to gather beforehand.
He estimated that there were 200 people at the gathering.
"I also wish to use this opportunity to urge mosque caretakers to report violations of Covid-19 protocols if they see any through this hotline - 04-222-1722," Shuhaily said.
He added that the police were aware of the need to fulfil religious obligations but Covid-19 protocols still need to be maintained.
Although Penang is now under Phase 2 of the National Recovery Plan, there are still restrictions for gatherings at places of worship.
