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."
Ismail Sabri: PN ministers' letter to Agong irrelevant to govt legitimacy By Alyaa Alhadjri
Sunday, October 09, 2022
Malaysiakini : Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob today said the legitimacy of
his administration remains even as 12 ministers had in a letter to the
Yang di-Pertuan Agong recorded their objections for the 15th general
elections to be held within this year.
Speaking to reporters at the World Trade Centre, Ismail Sabri (above)said their action was not tantamount to a withdrawal of support as government MPs. “Cabinet ministers have no quorum. The cabinet ministers in the letter did not say they resigned.
“But
even if they resigned, the cabinet still functions and we will appoint
new ministers to replace them,” he said after attending the national
level Maulidur Rasul celebrations at the World Trade Centre, Kuala
Lumpur.
Spirit of Malaya : Do you have the majority support of Parliament?
MerdekaMerdekaMerdeka : “….then the government will fall like what happened to Muhyiddin Yassin’s administration.” Even that will always remain a BIGGG doubt, that he did have the confidence of majority MPs then.
He never proved his qualification for the office PM. He IGNORED His Majestys’ call to put it thru a vote of confidence in Parliament. Let’s not forget that, lest we allow for it to happen again.
