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."
King hopes GE15 will be held before monsoon season
Monday, October 10, 2022
Malaysiakini : The Yang di-Pertuan Agong hoped the Election Commission (EC) will fix
an election date that can be held soon, Istana Negara said today.
According
to the comptroller of the royal household Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin, the
Agong had hoped for a date that will happen before the middle of
November when the Northeast Monsoon is expected to begin.
In a
statement, Fadil said the Agong had granted caretaker prime minister
Ismail Sabri Yaakob an audience at noon yesterday and received a
proposal to dissolve Parliament.
"His Majesty had expressed his
disappointment with the latest political developments but had no choice
but to consent to the request of the prime minister in order to return
the mandate to the rakyat to choose a stable government," he added.
GrayTuna3678 : Feeling abandoned for the 2nd time since the collapse of PH. Hoping for a repeat of GE14 with a stronger and fiercer turn out to give a solid mandate to non corrupt parties
Beman : Not sure what advice the King has received. The monsoon season is not something starts exactly on 15 November and ends exactly on 15 March.
Turnedback : I cannot trust the Instant and not practical budget presented, voters must not fall into their trap.
Otak center : A sane mind could save lifes and properties but this case is a human foolish thinking for those who allow this GE to go ahead. No humans can 100% predict correctly when the storm starts to flood.
Ghost Rider : BN win big, KLEPTOCRCY will continue, Najib and Ponorogo in power? SGD to RM will be 4.50 and USD to RM will be 6.50.
By that, grass also cannot afford, can only eat sand. I think Sabah and Sarawak will want out of the Federation because Islamic Extremism will increase. Most probably the southernmost will want out as well.
Newday : One month at most. What of those that will be postal voters? Their votes are essentially wiped out. Postal voting generally favours the Opposition Parties. A minimum 6 weeks till polling day is fair and reasonable.
Canāt wait for the actual date.
Is feeling like GE14 all over again with postal votes. Midweek like last time? Well that savagely backfired on you lot didnāt it. It will again.
Respectfully Agong, the rakyat could have happily waited until March or April 2023 to have the mandate returned.
JazliSalleh : Everyone thought that the Rakyat's safety and wellbeing would have been given priority. However, in Malaysia the politicians' safety and wellbeing supercedes everything else. What a joke??
NoobMaster69 : We all know that who is busy rocking the boat wanting to have election during monsoon. Please vote out this selfish BN government. We don't need a government that their only interest is to get themselves out of jail!
