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."
Read judgment first, Anwar tells Najib's supporters calling for royal pardon By Geraldine Tong
Thursday, August 25, 2022
Malaysiakini : Those calling for a royal pardon for Najib Abdul Razak should first
read through the judges’ decisions in the SRC International case, which
sent him to jail.
Opposition leader and PKR president Anwar
Ibrahim said the decisions of both the High Court and the Federal Court
to convict and uphold Najib’s conviction outlined how this was a clear
case of corruption. “That (requesting a royal pardon) is
everyone’s right, but read the judgment first. Those angry at judge Mohd
Nazlan Mohd Ghazali, read his judgment.
“Read what Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat said, that this case is too obvious. “Read first, how many millions (were taken), which account they went
to, how many diamonds were bought. Once we read and know, then we won’t
defend (Najib),” Anwar said to reporters today after attending an
economic seminar in Subang Jaya, Selangor today.
He was responding to the group of Najib supporters who had yesterday gone to the Istana Negara to hand over a memorandum seeking a royal pardon for the former prime minister.

Anwar also reminded that Najib still has another ongoing “bigger” case related to 1MDB.
“So wait lah,” he said.
MerdekaMerdekaMerdeka : Anwar, you are asking disciples of cult that has a guru called ‘Maluapa Bossku’ and a mantra that goes “Cash is King”, to do what?… read judge first.
Just the ability to read itself is deemed a miracle in that cult.
You’ll need another 12 years to help them break free from their current spell, before they can understand what that judgement is all about.
