“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."
Is NOT PAS causing sedition by going against the Constitution?
Malaysiakini : PARLIAMENT | The Home Ministry has assured that police will investigate anyone who commits sedition regardless of their stature. This was in response to a query on whether a statement implying that a state would secede from Malaysia was an offence.
“The
Home Ministry through the police is always committed to uphold freedom
of expression as long as it abides by laws that have been set. “However,
police will take stern action by carrying out arrests and prosecution
towards any individual, regardless of position or stature, who commits
sedition or causes public unease based on legal provisions under the
Sedition Act, Penal Code, and Communications and Multimedia Act,” the
ministry said.
This was said in a written reply on Thursday to a question from Azis Jamman (Warisan-Sepanggar). Azis
had asked whether making remarks which appeared to incite a state or
region in the country to secede from Malaysia was a criminal offence or
violated any law, regardless of who said it.

The ministry, in its reply, did not specify whether this was an offence. Calls for secession are an offence under the Sedition Act.
