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."
Zahidi: Whose political career will end? Mine or Zahid's? By N Faizal Ghazali

Malaysiakini : GE15 | Incumbent Padang Besar MP
Zahidi Zainul Abidin has stressed that his decision to defend his seat
as an independent candidate was done in protest against Umno president
Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said this was contrary to a perceived attempt at extending his own political career. "We don't know whose political career will end, mine or Zahid's and Umno's.
"Because
we are no longer in a time when Umno can win even if they put up a
'tree stump' as a candidate. If Zahid's actions caused a win for other
parties, then Umno will be buried. "If Umno is buried then Zahid will face the same fate," said Zahidi (above) in an interview with Malaysiakini in Kangar, Perlis, yesterday.
The
outgoing deputy communications and multimedia minister said this when
asked about his political future after declaring himself as an
independent in the Padang Besar parliamentary and Titi Tinggi state seat, following Umno's decision to replace him.
Zahidi
also claimed that Zahid's candidate selection for the Padang Besar seat
was not in line with a decision by Umno's supreme council and the
party's constitution.
He said it has been customary for each
division to propose five names and the final selection of the nominees
must be done through discussion among Umno's top five leaders.
Vgeorgemy : Zahidi, you have been a tree stump for a long time. Let’s see your salt worth this time around.
Nuyiko :
Covid time, Zahidi made fun of a Sabahan student who forced to climb tree to access internet for her online class, claming that she was lying to seek attention. The incident was solved by KJ visited student personally. Dropping arrogant warlord like Tajuddin and Zahidi is a good decision for UMNO.
