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."
Act like PM, not party follower, Loke tells Ismail Sabri By Alena Nadia
Sunday, September 25, 2022
Malaysiakini : DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke Siew Fook challenged Prime
Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to act like a prime minister and not a
party follower in the face of demands from certain quarters in Umno.
Loke
said if Ismail Sabri, who is an Umno vice-president, was brave enough
to hold elections during the monsoon season, voters will punish him for
such a decision. “We advise the prime minister not to be alarmed
because of (Umno president Ahmad) Zahid (Hamidi) making these demands
(to hold the general election soon).
“I have said in Parliament. Ismail Sabri, you are PM. Act like one, and not a party follower,” said Loke (above) in a speech today during a special party congress at the Ideal Convention Centre Shah Alam, in Selangor. This comes after Zahid, who is also the BN chairperson, adamantly called for the national polls to be carried out this year despite possible floods.
That same day, Ismail Sabri also said the general election is “not too far away”, adding that the matter will be discussed soon.
AnginLintang : Betol Ah Loke cakap. Kalo pm mesia takot kat parti nya bermakna dia bukan lg pm. Sapa yg nak buat accountable decisions?? Mcm jibi ngan ros. Akibatnya rakyat yg menderita dgn hutang berbillion².. beli kapal perang habuk takde, wang dah bayaq..
