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."
M’sian Veterans Allegedly Left Under Hot Sun While VVIPs Were Eating In Air-Conditioned Rooms By Alena
Thursday, May 26, 2022
World of Buzz : Many cases of double standard treatment have come to light recently and
there was another one on 24 May that was highlighted on Twitter.
In the thread, the netizen says:“They get served what they eat while the rakyat only eat from packets. Is this sharing the cake? Is this Keluarga Malaysia?” He continued by saying, “if they can’t eat together in the
air-conditioned hall, don’t let them eat from packets and on the grass.
Tolonglah ada empati sikit.
Mereka ini yang telah lama berjasa kepada negara, dah pun bersara.
Ini kena berdiri tengah-tengah panas, makan pun tepi jalan.
Risau saya kalau pengsan nanti.
Yang VIP duduk selesa dalam aircond, makan pun dijamu.
May i ask is this the way how our Minister honoured veterans in the 100th anniversary of ATM Veterans association with VVIP in aircon room while the Ex officers on the floor under the scorching hot sun?This must stop.Pls treat our veteran army with respect & decorum.@MarkasATMpic.twitter.com/g0DO7REHTm
Give them a table.” This tweet has since been retweeted almost 10,000 times and liked more
than 8,000 times and many netizens have commented on this issue.“How dare they put the veterans under the sun like that. If they
can’t treat and respect the veterans like heroes, at least treat them
like the elderly and not like young people. Is common sense rare
nowadays?”
“The ones who picked up weapons and go to war are different than the
ones who are enjoying aircond and don’t know how to do anything other
than talk.”
