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."
A Snake in the making? Syed Saddiq denies backing PN after meeting Muhyiddin
Monday, December 05, 2022
Malaysiakini : Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman has denied backing
Perikatan Nasional after he uploaded an image on social media showing
that he met the coalitionās president Muhyiddin Yassin for two hours.
When
contacted, the Muar MP said he has been involved in bipartisan
engagements since he was part of Pakatan Harapan after the 2018 general
election. "I stated the purpose of the meeting (on social media). I
have been having bipartisan (engagements) when I was in the government
and when I was part of the opposition. And now, I am back in the
government.
"And I stated this quite a number of times. How is that (some speculated I am backing PN)?" he asked.
Pakatan4Life : So you wasted a precious 2 hours of being an MP by .meeting with that racist Moo? How nice.
Was it the same with zakir naik? Bipartisanship?
Just cut the crap and get down to work.
Just because you were not offered a ministership does not mean you have to show your displeasure by meeting Moo so soon.
It shows you have no respect to your colleagues in your coalition.
Quigonbond : Thanks for meeting Moo. It puts to rest why you're not in the cabinet.
Darwin Fernandez : 2 hours of meeting, the man and his party who is accusing you for miss using party funds when you were in his party and also have taken you to court and the case is still going on SS, also why the need to post the photographer on social media, sending a message to whom yourself, the people or the current government because not elected. Looks like you have forgotten you are a public figure before and now. Please please don't full the people š²š¾
just an ordinary guy : In the immediate aftermath of Sheraton move he said TSMY asked him for support and when he didnāt, he was charged for corruption in what he claimed was politically motivated.
His parents were also interrogated for long hours by MACC causing much distress to himself and those close to him. And here he is showing respect and giving time to this very person he claimed is selectively prosecuting him. Makes no sense whatsoever.
Bosku Merpati : First Zakir Naik now Moo. Questionable priorities..Sure got a lot of time on his hands to meet someone who was spewing misinformation on a Christian and Jewish conspiracies.
Should be checking on Muar residents well-being, cost of living woes and flood contingencies instead.
A lot of time to see Moo when Parliament convenes if he does turn up.
Obviously a veiled threat for being left out of Cabinet. Rode on the coattails of PH voters and now meets the PN chief .
For a start he did not deliver the Undi 18 vote.
