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."
Are the people are so naive and contented compared to others?.
Then they really deserved to be where they are.
Or probably they were indoctrinated and brain washed daily for years by the sermons preached that their faith and happiness is only decided by God.

Guess it is a miniature cockstand.
Malaysiakini : Kelantan's fifth position in the Malaysia Happiness Index (MHI) 2021
proves that the people in the state are happy and satisfied with their
lives, said Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Mohd Amar Abdullah.
He said the MHI score obtained by Kelantan was far ahead of more advanced states such as Selangor. "We
(Kelantan) are among the happy states. Happy means that the people are
satisfied, the people are happy even if there are problems. That is why
we are included in the happiness index.
"We got a score of 7.0, slightly different from Terengganu's 7.2 (fourth position).
"Compared to Selangor’s 5.0, it is much different. That is a state
that is said to be intelligent, ruled by Pakatan Harapan, the land is
abundant, the state is rich, but the people are not happy," he said.
Mohd Amar was speaking at a Kelantan state assembly post-session talk in Pengkalan Chepa, Kota Bharu, last night.

to the findings of the MHI which was conducted for the first time by
the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), Chief Statistician Mohd
Uzir Mahidin noted that Labuan recorded a score of 9.29 which is Very
Happy.
Meanwhile, 11 states including the Federal Territories of
Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya were at a Happy level, while Malacca and
Selangor were Moderately Happy.
