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."
Lokman claims T'ganu MB on vacation while his state's underwater
Wednesday, December 21, 2022
Malaysiakini : Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has been accused
of vacationing in Auckland, New Zealand, with his family, while the
state is inundated with floods.
INILAH MB PALING HAPRAK DALAM SEJARAH. HONEYMOON DI AUCKLAND ADA DUIT, UTK BANJIR HARAP DERMA https://t.co/hcZ7Rlub6a
The claim was made by former Umno supreme council member Lokman Noor Adam in a live session on Facebook last night.
According to Lokman, Samsuri and his wife departed for Auckland on Dec 11 and are set to return home tomorrow (Dec 22).
“We
checked to see whether he (Samsuri) will make arrangements to fly home
earlier, as the floods in his state worsened. But no, the original
flight plans remain.
“This is your leader, ‘honeymooning’ with the family is more
important than the people’s suffering,” said Lokman, presenting what he
alleged were receipt printouts of the car rented by Samsuri during his
holiday.
Lokman further lambasted Samsuri for
initiating a donation drive for flood victims, via his office as the Rhu
Rendang assemblyperson, while not being physically present.
