No Atheists
In A Foxhole

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."

Harapan should be given first shot at forming govt
Monday, November 21, 2022


Malaysiakini : 'If Harapan fails, only then can it be PN's turn.'

Who are PN and Harapan's likely partners?

Magnanimous46: The final result of the 15th general election is that the majority of Malays have chosen Bersatu and PAS, while the majority of non-Malays have opted for Pakatan Harapan.

While Harapan is the largest block with 82 seats and ought to be given the first shot at forming the government, ironically, none of the others - BN, Perikatan Nasional (PN), Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) or Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) - have shown an interest to work with Harapan.

This is probably due to the DAP bogey and the perception of majority Malay Muslim sentiments seen from the voting pattern. Does Anwar have the numbers and is that sufficient to form a stable government? Let us not forget history: what Umno, Bersatu and PAS were capable of doing to the short-lived Harapan government post-14th general election.

Will these politically bankrupt race and religious paddlers, notorious for the Sheraton coup, allow a stable Harapan government to function? Is PAS an option for mainstream governance? Notwithstanding the court cluster and Bersatu that betrayed Harapan, PN chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin has just taken it to the next level, earning the wrath of the Christian community by allegedly branding them agents of the Jews.

With this level of aversion to Harapan, are these the kind of people that reformist Harapan wants to collude with to form a government? Is this what the people that voted for Harapan would have wanted? Harapan advocates that the moral high ground in governance should distance itself from these kinds of quagmires that are bound to end up in another Sheraton Move.

It is far better to play an effective opposition role to protect the masses than to be embroiled in political turmoil with the likes of race and religious outfits. Those that forget history are condemned to repeat it.

Quigonbond: It seems to me that the simplest path to the majority, and therefore, easiest to establish a stable government, is for Harapan to come together with GPS.

GPS seems to have agreed with GRS that they will join a coalition together, at least that's what GRS has been reported to say. With them, Harapan will just be about one seat short of a simple 111. And with Warisan’s three seats, it would provide the needed stability.

On the other hand, PN/PAS will need to cobble together basically all coalitions bar Harapan. GPS will be tripping over whether to work with PAS, and PN will be tripping over whether to work with BN - the former is over religious extremism, and the latter is over the facade of clean government.

So, in terms of difficulty, Harapan seems to have a slightly easier path. The problem then is for GPS and DAP to come to a consensus to work together. It's amazing how Sarawakians have continued to support GPS when they did not have any qualms working with PAS after they turned extremist.

In the end, it is also about the fair-mindedness of the king. Bersih said it is right, the biggest bloc should have the privilege of trying to form a government first, then get a vote of confidence in the Parliament. Being given this opportunity is another challenge for Harapan because it's just unguided/unscripted royal discretion at the moment.

In such an unprecedented landscape (though it should not be surprising as it has been prognosticated for months now), perhaps the Conference of Rulers should meet to set out a firm procedure.

Read it all here, it's definitely free......
