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."
Let me take on Peja (Frog's nickname) in Tambun, says Aziz Bari against, Ahmad Faizal Azumu

Aziz Bari
Malaysiakini : Perak opposition leader Abdul Aziz Bari wants to challenge former
menteri besar Ahmad Faizal Azumu for the Tambun parliamentary seat when
GE15 rolls around.
Bucking the trend of DAP MPs like Lim Kit Siang
and Ong Kian Ming announcing that they will not be running in the
upcoming general election, Aziz Bari is volunteering for double duty.
"I
made a promise to the party that I would defend my state seat in Tebing
Tinggi, but I'm also hoping to tackle Peja (Faizal's nickname) in
Tambun.
"To be honest, I don't think he has done much on the
ground. I can't see where the allocation to run the constituency is
going," Aziz told Malaysiakini.
"This is not personal with Peja, just that I am holding a seat close
to him and have been working in the area, with schools, environmental
groups and so on. I believe there are some areas where I can contribute.
It will definitely be a three-cornered fight with BN and PN," he added.
Aziz said he didn't foresee any conflicts if DAP decides to field him in both state and parliamentary seats.
