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."
"Taliban" Thugs from PAS in action, who voted for you dumb jerks?
Malaysiakini : This has been a brilliant week for Malaysian gutter politics,
although not for the rakyat; but the cherry on the cake has to be the
appointment of Ahmad Faizal Azumu as Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's Special Adviser, with ministerial status.
One can forgive Muhyiddin for being desperate, but did he have to scrape the bottom of the barrel?
Ever
since Dr Mahathir Mohamad's tenure, Malaysian politicians celebrated
the art of mediocrity, but did Muhyiddin have to sink this low? Many of
his advisers and ministers are thicker than the condensed milk that we
liberally pour into our teh tarik every morning.
Does
Muhyiddin have to torture the rest of the nation with a man as
incompetent, mediocre and devoid of talent as Ahmad Faizal? He could not
have done a worse job dragging Malaysians into the gutter. Ahmad Faizal
(above) lost the vote of confidence
in the Perak State Legislative Assembly, when he was the menteri besar
of the state and to all and sundry, he is a failure. Only Muhyiddin
thinks otherwise.
