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."
Making Hadi opposition leader ought to stem the bilge By Terence Netto
Tuesday, December 06, 2022
Leader of opposition....
Will leak out his disposition..
Bad for his position.....
And enhance his reputation....
As a bigot for retaliation....
In imagined ghosts of DAPs foundation....
To plant communism in damnation.....
An insane proclamation....
Leading to his probable incarceration.....
Which is a good thing for nation - Loga
Malaysiakini : COMMENT | The possibility of PAS
president Abdul Hadi Awang emerging as parliamentary opposition leader
ought to be encouraged if only to stem the nonsensical talk emanating
from him.
Thus far, his drivel has had a lush season. His main target has been the DAP, which he has called everything from communist to Islamophobic.
Police
reports lodged against Hadi have led to him being summoned by the
police to give a statement, presumably of explanation and defence, of
what has been a scattershot approach to a necessary aspect of the
business of politics - the verbal pummelling of opponents.
Hadi’s “roughing up” of opponents is on the nether side of the wild. One way to stem the flow of bilge from Hadi would be to make him the opposition leader. As is it, the Marang MP heads the PAS component of Perikatan Nasional (PN).
And PAS commands the largest number of seats in the lower house at 49. DAP has the second-largest collection at 40 seats.
MAT SAKAU : Excellent idea !
A man most often absent\
