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."
PKR rep: With Umno warlords blocking his path, KJ may settle for Alor Setar By Ng Xiang Yi
Thursday, September 15, 2022
Malaysiakini : It is logical for Khairy Jamaluddin to vie for the Alor Setar
parliamentary seat in the next general election, according to its
incumbent Chan Ming Kai.
The PKR lawmaker said the health minister
had mentioned moving to Kedah albeit light-heartedly during a
conversation in June this year. “Back then, I texted him over some
official matters. Then he joked he happened to be in Kedah for a
ministerial function as well as to check if there is any place for him
to contest in the state.
“I told him that if he comes to Alor Setar, I might consider staying as he is a great opponent,” he added. Therefore, Chan said he was not surprised to read media reports that the incumbent Rembau (Negeri Sembilan) MP would contest in Alor Setar, which has been a traditional MCA seat.
Although
he is popular, the PKR MP said it would be difficult for the minister
to take over Umno’s current seats as he was not part of the party
leadership. He said if Khairy had influence in Umno, he could move
to seats held by his father-in-law, former premier Abdullah Ahmad
Badawi, such as Kepala Batas or Tasek Gelugor.

“However,
Umno has warlords everywhere and they won’t let go of their seats. So
now Umno grassroots would use big names like Khairy to grab seats that
MCA or MIC cannot win,” he added.
RETIRED TEACHER : Being one of the few diligent and intelligent Ministers at the moment, you should already know where the nation is heading to if you still cling on to the party.
Stand as an independent wherever you choose to and show your unscrupulous warlord bosses that RAKYAT is KING! I am confident that a sizable portion of the rakyat still value you KJ.
Doc : When you are the only smart one in a field of morons; I don't think you are going to survive using your brains. Not to mention the other morons are going to suffer from a case of inferiority complex with someone with brains in their ranks.
Maya : Khairy is winnable anywhere. It's only the warlords that are having a tough time. They will all fight for sure win seats. These will be seats in strong malay majority constituencies. Only drawback is they do not have boss ku to draft a successful campaign.
However the only game that they seem to be playing at the moment is the "unfair incarceration" of boss ku. Slowly they will run out of support as more cases are convicted. That is when noticable changes maybe seen within UMNO. This will take sometime and probably push IS to keep going till next year. After all he is in no rush
BrownCheetah9736 : KJ, please go for Langkawi. Put the old man out to permanent retirement and let your father-in-law have the last laugh before he goes.
