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."
'I just want to cry': Single mom barred from seeing kids after reunion
Tuesday, February 15, 2022
vmsians : Perlis Police and Welfare Department are acting in contempt of the court custody order...Loh's habeas corpus is academic in view of the change in circumstances...Loh should demand the Police to immediately release her children to her custody and discontinue the habeas corpus application...
Seriously after so many cases why do you want to trust the authorities that are headed by them???
Malaysiakini : Single mother Loh Siew Hong is still not united with her three
children despite finally tracking down their location after they were
taken away by her estranged husband and unilaterally converted to Islam
three years ago.
The three children – a pair of 14-year-old twins and a 10-year-old – were briefly reunited with their mother at the Kangar district police headquarters (IPD) in Perlis on Monday (Feb 14).
However,
the children were then placed under the care of the Perlis Welfare
Department, pending the outcome of a habeas corpus application filed in
the High Court in Kuala Lumpur.
A grief-stricken Loh today told Malaysiakini
that she is now being prevented from visiting her children by the
Welfare Department, even though she was initially told she could see
them for an hour every day, on the condition that she gets tested for
Covid-19 each time.
