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."
Malaysiakini : Sabah's Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star) has quit the Perikatan
Nasional (PN) coalition, its president Jeffrey Kitingan confirmed today.
Speaking to the press in Kota Kinabalu, Kitingan said an official announcement will be made soon. "Yes (we have quit PN). Just wait for the announcement," he said, as reported by Astro Awani.
The
decision to leave PN is believed to be in connection to the move by
Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), a Sabah-based coalition Star is a part of,
to support the new federal government led by Prime Minister Anwar
Ibrahim of Pakatan Harapan.
Anon_4 : No wonder he deserves the title as King of the Kings of Frogs!
Vent : Once you learn to leap frog it comes naturally to do it time and time again. Looks like the natives of Sabah have to contend with frogs all the time regardless of the rainy season.
Krabian : Sabah super Katak. Switches allegiance to suit his agenda faster than changes his shirt. This kind of politician we can do away with.
Unluckeee : Historically this guy jump ships very often. He can quit PN today but rejoin next month. Depending on the wind direction.
