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."
Zahid the winner....
Made PNPAS a bummer....
For now no slammer....
PN plot gets thinner....
To overturn ph , plan gets dimmer.....
PN dream is of midnight summer....
Looks like zahid wielded the hammer.....
To stop Pn as a jammer....
Of PH intentions that they clammer - Loga
Malaysiakini : COMMENT | If Anwar Ibrahim’s
political travails in the past two decades can be encapsulated in less
than five words, it would read "from prison to Putrajaya". Ahmad Zahid
Hamidi seemed to be travelling in the opposite direction before making a
sudden U-turn.
This comes as no surprise since the nation’s
political landscape is now littered with "U-turn" signs after most of
the "One Way" and "No Entry" signs erected in the past have been
removed.
The Umno president has completed an assignment given to
him 24 years ago - make Anwar the prime minister. Sources claim his
detractors are painting him as a saboteur who never lost sight of his
mission and had plotted his friend’s ascension behind the scenes, even
if it meant reducing Umno to ruins.
But some people believe in a more reductionist explanation compared to a romanticised tale of friendship.
