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."
Come, come now, let's not haggle like Arabs in a Camel Market for seats

Wannabe MB of Perak?
Malaysiakini : PN to hold discussions with BN to form Perak state govt. Perak Perikatan Nasional (PN) will hold discussions with BN about forming the state government soon.
Perak PN deputy chairperson Razman Zakaria said this was because they only won 26 out of 59 state seats in the 15th general election (GE15).
āA total of 30 seats are required for a simple majority to form the Perak state government.
Can start ordering for Xmas & CNY, the army green and pale yellow one looks ok
āPN lacks four state seats so we will work towards forming a government to administer the state and hold discussions with others for this purpose,ā he said in a media conference in Ipoh today.
Cogito Ergo Sum : Will this be the next move on the national level? Unfortunately, you donāt have the numbers for Parliament. And you canāt go to East Malaysia. They totally reject your extremist views. You are in a dilemma. Like the rest of the country.
I WONDER? : The servant has become boss with the boss become servant. PAS has actually conquered UMNO from behind and taken over UMNO's territories.If Perak UMNO were to form coalition with PAS means UMNO will be swallowed whole soon by PAS with nothing left. If UMNO is smart enough, should consider of talking to PH to form the state Govt.
At least PH has principle and honor. UMNO can have the chance of turning over a new leaf and re-born.
