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."
Claims against military personnel a lie, Anwar must apologise - Ismail Sabri
Friday, November 11, 2022
Malaysiakini : The allegation made by Pakatan Harapan (Harapan) chairperson Anwar
Ibrahim that military personnel here have already cast their votes for
the general election today and were paid to do so, is a lie and a
malicious accusation against the armed forces, said caretaker Prime
Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said Anwar’s allegation had also
tarnished the image of the security forces and insulted the military
personnel not only in Bera, but also nationwide.
“The accusation that the military personnel were paid (to vote) is a malicious accusation. Do not insult them like that.
“I
call on Anwar to retract the accusation and apologise, not to me, but
to the military personnel who were accused of being paid to vote and
everything,” he told reporters after attending the Moh Ngeteh programme
with the Orang Asli community in Kampung Bongkok today.
The caretaker prime minister said this in response to Anwar’s claim, which was published
on a news portal, that he has credible evidence of illegal voting
taking place today involving members of the armed forces, and that they
voted in Bera and were paid RM300.
Ismail Sabri, however, did not
refute the possibility that the military personnel cast their ballots as
postal voters, saying that “under the Election Commission Act, there
are categories of postal voters, early voters and normal voters.”
Iskandar cutie : This is an open secret, don't act shocked
Purple Occa 8200 : "The accusation that the military personnel were paid (to vote) is a malicious accusation. Do not insult them like that." Ismail you are really a dumb fool. The insult is for you. If this is true, you have gone so low to cheat on your victory.
The Election Commission has set Nov 15 for early voting and Nov 19 for polling.- Bernama
