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."
Tempers flare over 'Anwar for PM' letter to palace, MCA wants Zahid out
Wednesday, November 23, 2022
Malaysiakini : BN chairperson Ahmad Zahid Hamidi came under fire at the coalition’s
supreme council meeting last night over a letter he sent to Istana
Negara, according to sources.
Although BN Comms dismissed the
letter, which expressed BN lawmakers’ support for Anwar Ibrahim to be
the next prime minister, as fake, MIC president SA Vigneswaran confirmed
it was genuine.
The letter has been circulating on social media.
“He
(Zahid) admitted sending the letter after 10 BN MPs retracted their
support for (Perikatan Nasional chairperson) Muhyiddin (Yassin) and BN
made the decision to remain neutral,” Vigneswaran told Malaysiakini this afternoon.

In a statement this afternoon, MCA secretary-general Chong Sin Woon,
also indicated the letter was genuine and said the ”claims in the letter
were completely out of line with the decision made by the BN supreme
council”.
“In both meetings, the supreme council resolved that BN will not support anyone as the prime minister at this moment,” he added.
Chong said MCA and BN questioned Zahid (above) on the matter last night.
“At
first, Zahid was in denial, but he admitted afterwards when evidence
was produced. Zahid had gone against the BN supreme council’s collective
decision and did not correctly communicate BN’s resolution to the Yang
di-Pertuan Agong.
