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."
Malaysiakini : PAS is set to clash with Umno in at least 27 parliamentary seats -
most of which are in Kelantan and Terengganu, in the 15th general
election (GE15).
However, sources say that the Islamist party is
at risk of losing many of the seats, as they were won in the 14th
general election (GE14) by a slim majority, and the seats were
previously held by Umno or BN.
"These include several traditional Umno seats, which PAS won in a three-cornered fight in GE14.
"PAS
does not want to lose the seats to Pakatan Harapan if it clashes with
Umno. Umno, meanwhile, thinks that the party stands a chance to seize
back the seats from PAS," a PAS source told Malaysiakini.
The clash between PAS and Umno at the 27 seats looks inevitable after
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said on Thursday that the party will strengthen cooperation within Perikatan Nasional (PN) to face the looming general election.
Scarecrow : We should support PAS because all Malaysians of all races and religions don’t want UMNO Perompak.
Kuniyo : Perpaduan Ummah is a gimmick used by Pas to get at least 27 free seats from Umno and PPBM. This is a party that used religion to get free money, free labour, free resources, free publicity.
NoobMaster69 : We want our concert as well. So no PAS also. Choose the least extreme party like PH because they represent Malaysia. We live in the world where race and religion doesn't determine the political situation anymore.
We all learn that one party cannot control the nation if not we will end up like North Korea and we also know that one cannot use religion to control the country if not we will end up backward like Afganistan or Parkistan.
apanama is back : But PAS is also a 'perompak bertopengkan jubah dan kopiah'. So how about crow? Is crow also wear a mask and try be nice here?
Talking nonense when people are trying to save this country!
Be truthful and fight for people. Don't be trooper. Resign and comment properly. You will be doing a great service to yourself.
VPappaRaidu : This is true colours of PAS padan muka UMNO dan BN.
World Citizen : Has PAS decided whom to sleep with yet, UMNO or Bersatu! I believe they are waiting to see who wins and then quickly join them so can be ministers and GLC heads.
Vgeorgemy : Zahid will ensure Hadi is humiliated in GE15 by ensuring the lower figure in single-digit representation in the Dewan Rakyat.
