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."
Nur Jazlan: Harapan manipulating MoU to hurt Umno/BN
Sunday, July 31, 2022
Kilimanjaro : Isn't it laughable? PH has only an MOU with PN/Ismail Sabri but UMNO is in the Govt with UMNO Ministers sitting in the Cabinet.
When UMNO joined hands with PAS and Bersatu to sneak through the backdoor to bring down an elected PH Govt, wasn't that a nasty act?
And what is your stand about that "Malay" Govt that isn't even elected? Karma has a way of spinning the wheel. What you sow, so shall you reap.
Malaysiakini : Former deputy minister Nur Jazlan Mohamed has come out swinging
at Pakatan Harapan, saying the coalition was manipulating the
memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Prime Minister Ismail Sabri
Yaakob to attack Umno.
“Today is the last day of the
MoU signed on Sept 13, 2021, between the government and the opposition. I
think the end of the MoU means the government is free from the shackles
of an opposition that is cunning enough to manipulate it for its own
political benefit.
“The period of the MoU was
supposed to be for a political ceasefire, but the opposition, especially
parties in Harapan, have deliberately been playing up various issues to
undermine Ismail Sabri’s government,” said Nur Jazlan.
He
claimed that Harapan MPs were trying to extend the MoU to prolong the
coalition’s own political life and to stay in office as MPs for as long
as possible.
