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."
Johari: BN must learn from past mistakes to wrest back KL By Yasmin Ramlan

Malaysiakini : INTERVIEW | A dozen parliamentary
seats in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur have been a fortress
impenetrable by BN since the 12th general election in 2008.
The only way in, said Umno Federal Territory chief Johari Abdul Ghani, is for BN to learn from its mistakes. āWe
must learn from our mistakes. That is why when we choose our candidates
to contest in the Federal Territory, they must have the attitude of
wanting to serve the people,ā Johari said in an interview with Malaysiakini.
āIf
we choose the wrong candidates at the Parliament level, we canāt get
good national level leaders,ā said the former finance minister II. Commenting further on his coalitionās mistakes, Johari, who is making a comeback in Titiwangsa, said the coalition previously disregarded criticisms or views of the people.
āFor
example, we took criticisms for granted, their dissatisfaction, because
we felt we have been in power for 61 years and we have done a lot of
what we felt was good for the people.
āBut the needs of the people change with time, with every generation. āIf
we look at the trend, people want different types of candidates - from
simple kampung folk all the way to urbanites. Urbanites are looking for
those who are better educated,ā he said.
Krabian : If UMNO is not corrupted, Malaysia is already a developed country with first world status. Can you change that ??
NoobMaster69 : Johari you will be punish by the people of Kg Baru for lying to them about the price of their land and how BN force them to evacuate their land.
If you were to be elected, not only there will be minimal services but you will find more way to sell Kg Baru land to you cronies for cheaper price.
People in KL is smart. All the parliament seat in KL will not fall to BN no matter what you say.
