Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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 : Dr Mahathir Mohamad said he would be willing to take on the mantle of
being prime minister for the third time if he is pushed to do so and
there is no other choice.
However, he said he would not want to be prime minister for a full term but perhaps for only one year. āI
would prefer to rest (and) still play an advisory role but if people
keep urging me, it would be difficult for me to think only of myself.
āSo if they keep urging me until there is no one else, I will accept (becoming prime minister again), but not for five years lah. Maybe one year only,ā Mahathir said during the āHard Talk with Dr Mahathirā event at the Bangi Convention Centre today. He was responding to the moderator who had asked if he would be ready to become the prime minister for the third time.
MerdekaMerdekaMerdeka : āā¦.but if people keep urging meā¦ā.
Pray tell, who ARE these drunk monkeys urging you to be PM again, so that you can repeat suddenly dropping your sarong to your whim and fancy and leaving an entire RAKTAY-MANDATED government and the nation in the lurch?
You must really think Malaysians are a bangang lot.
And do you know itās an offense to feed anything to any animals (especially monkeys) at the National Zoo? Alcohol included!
FairCritic : You kidding? The people had enough of your evil deeds inflicted on the country for the last 20+ years. No more as there are plenty of more capable, honest and genuine statemen here.
Hello Brader : From two years to one year!!! Hope indeed springs eternal!!!!!!!!!!!!
Krabian : . . . and after one year if the baton not pass to his useless kid Mukhriz, he will go to the Palace and resign again.
ABOUT TIME : Dunia cakap Pergi,kubor cakap Mari...
This old man very thick skin..Shameless..Screwed the country TWICE and hoping for a last lap before expire..
WhiteHornet2439 : Hello Tun..... has no one whispered into your ears that the educated and knowledgeable would rather have a country WITHOUT a Prime Minister than having a you back to cause more damage to a beautiful country, that has become so rotten that it may need to die before regeneration.
Please spend your remaining time here atoning for your countless sins before meeting your maker.
Salvage Malaysia: There are other choices. I believe majority of Rakyat donāt want you to come back anymore let alone be PM. If Malaysia still has to rely on a 97 year old person to lead the country for the 3rd time, gosh May God save Malaysia.
EyeInTheSky2022 : You were given the chance, you blew it big time by screwing everyone left right. People will not push you to do so, they will push you off the cliff.
Ruslan Bahari : No thank you. By the way, if people really wanted you - and by extension your party - to lead, why did your party not win any seats at recent by elections? Who are these people? Your kids? Your hangers on?
