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."

The Fanatics
Malaysiakini : āNo one will really understand politics until they understand that
politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to
solve their own problems - of which getting elected and re-elected are
number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.ā- Thomas Sowell
COMMENT
| The Malacca state assembly election is the bottom of the barrel as
far as Malaysian politics is concerned. Two mainstream Malay parties are
going to attempt to outdo each other in āketuanan politicsā in
the hope that only one can be the standard-bearer for the kind of racial
and religious supremacy that forms the anchor of BN-type politics.
Mutual consent between corrupt individuals is okay as it is NOT covered by Hudud laws
Forget about the unity of the ummah. The reality is that the
political landscape of Malaysia is not conducive to the kind of
Malay-Muslim hegemony envisioned by Malay political structures that want
to be the sole custodian of Malay rights and Islam.
Zahid Hamidi Lying Through His Arsehole
How can this Pendatang aspire to be PM who was born in Java?
Havenāt these numbskulls read anything by Syed Husin Ali about what happens if there are only Malays in Malaysia, which is the desiderata (desire) of Malay uber alles
ideology? A couple of years back, the grand old man of Malaysian
politics wrote about how an eventual class conflict would arise even if
the Malays were the last people standing in this country.
