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."
Korea’s FA-50 wins Malaysian Tender but blows budget, it’s not all over for Tejas – Guess Corruption Pays
Monday, September 12, 2022
Kenapa beli pesawat Korea dgn harga yg melambung tetapi kebolehan yg rendah....jelas syarat syarat tender dan keperluan di abaikan ..korupsi dan pertimbangan yg tidak munsabah jelas berlaku.
Bacalah dan bayangkan bagaimana Msia kini turut buat keputusan yg tidak masuk akal...tiada AESA radar, tiada kemampuan membawa peluru berpandu jarak jauh, tidak mempunyai keupayaan untuk gerakan pantas (agility), tiada inflight refueling capability, isu kemalangan antara lain ..TETAPI JAUH LEBIH MAHAL
Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) has selected Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) developed FA-50 jets as the winner of its tender but it already has hit a roadblock after the Malaysian finance ministry objected to the deal since the Koreans had offered the sale of 18 jets at RM 4.2 billion, way above the Chinese bid of JF-17 at RM 3.4 Bn and India’s indigenously built Tejas-Mk-1 at RM 3.75 Bn when the state budget for the deal was only 3.5 billion Ringgit Malaysia.
According to a report in ” Times of India,” they are allegations that RMAF has not adhered to the technical parameters set in RFP (Request for Proposal) and even diluted capabilities that it initially had sought at the bidding stage to favor the Korean offer while ignoring much more capable jets offered at lower costs.
Malaysian Defence Ministry and RMAF have been asked by the Malaysian Finance Ministry why they have selected jets that are not within budget since they very well knew the budget set by the Finance Ministry for the deal. Local Malaysian media is abuzz with allegations of Senior officials of the RMAF getting kickbacks and commissions in this tender by the Korean firm.
