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."
Khairy Jamaluddin should get your vote - Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy

Malaysiakini : “It’s irrelevant whether he’s a nice guy or a bad guy. It’s who
he represents. When you vote for Khairy, you actually vote for Zahid,” incumbent Sungai Buloh MP R Sivarasa
COMMENT |
For the record, I know incumbent Sungai Buloh MP R Sivarasa and his
wife. They are both decent people and as an elected rep, I would vote
for Sivarasa any time of the week, no matter who he chooses to align
with (as the rumours persist) because his intellect, politics and
worldview have always been altruistic, and he is truly in the best sense
of the word a Malaysian patriot.
Furthermore, the kerfuffle
between PKR president Anwar Ibrahim and his deputy Rafizi Ramli on why
Sivarasa was not picked to defend his seat in GE15 is dumb. Rafizi
should have known that Sivarasa had accepted the decision based on his
medical condition, and publicly contradictory statements only fuel
speculation of an Anwar-Rafizi rift. Needless to say, Harapan should be
mindful of these types of distractions.
Now, we come to BN’s Sungai Buloh candidate Khairy Jamaluddin and if you should vote for him.
This comment says it all!!
Optimus : A vote for KJ is a vote for Dumno. Haven't enough damage being done to the nation by Dumno/BN for over 60 years? Never again putting gang of Dumno robbers and lapdogs in power!
