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."

Malaysiakini : TG PIAI POLLS | Pakatan Harapan has lodged a police report against BN chairperson Ahmad Zahid Hamidi over his remarks on the Johor basikal lajak tragedy court ruling.
In
a statement, Johor Harapan Youth chief Taqiuddin Cheman said Zahid
questioning the acquittal of the driver had caused tensions and
challenged the integrity of the courts. As such, they urged police
to take action against the Umno president. The report was lodged at the
Pontian police district headquarters.
At a BN-PAS ceramah on
Wednesday for the coming Tanjung Piai by-election, Zahid questioned the
Johor Bahru Magistrate Court's decision to acquit the driver involved
in an accident where eight teenaged bicyclists were killed. The magistrate added that the basikal lajak gang members had instead put themselves in danger.
Siti
Hajar said investigations found that Sam was not under the influence of
alcohol, was not using her phone, and had worn a seatbelt while
driving, proving that the accused was driving responsibly and carefully.
Bukti Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh said Zahid's remarks were reckless and called for the latter to be cited for contempt of court.
