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."
Malaysiakini : PAS has yet to receive a motion to be discussed and debated at its
upcoming general assembly on whether it should continue its political
cooperation with Umno through Muafakat Nasional (Muafakat).
Instead,
its secretary-general, Takiyuddin Hassan, said some divisions have
proposed to strengthen the ummah and Muafakat, in line with the party's
stance. "We have 197 divisions nationwide submitting their motions
to PAS Central, and so far, we have not decided on the motions to be
debated at the party’s 68th annual assembly on Sept 3 and 4.
Maimun : tail now between the legs! more soft, else kurang ajar arrogant baskets. the pas MB also extremely quiet. what happen to suing penang? go alone into the poll lah!
Clever voter: PAS has tasted a bit of power, with power comes nice Mercedes, free perks, and travel. They will just wait and see, whoever wins, can be assured PAS be waiting for fresh negotiations. It is expected no one party will win outright, PAS has learn this, and want more.
Kawak: No shame. Umno has already decided not to cooperate with PAS in GE15. But the PAS "pak lebais" are so fearful losing their positions in the government if PN loses in the general election. They are still begging Umno to reconsider their position under the pretext of Malay Muslim unity.
Apache : Like how these lowlife play and hedge their positions with UMNO. One side say let's co-operate and another side try to pull back hoping for higher concessions from UMNO. Either way using this pasar malam way, these lowlife win at the expense of the country.
