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."
Ministers chosen collectively, not just by PM - Fahmi
Saturday, December 03, 2022
Malaysiakini : Newly appointed Digital Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has
lambasted Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin’s remarks
over cabinet appointments.
This comes after Muhyiddin said Prime
Minister Anwar Ibrahim had “pawned” the principles of good governance,
as preached during the election campaign, by appointing “kleptocrat”
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi into the cabinet.
Fahmi, however, said the list of cabinet appointments was not at the sole discretion of the prime minister.
Instead,
it was a collective decision made by Anwar and leaders of other parties
and coalitions within the federal government, which consists of Pakatan
Harapan, BN, GPS, GRS, Warisan, and others.
Nona888 : Yes, Muhyiddin has become delusional, confused and lost. This is the first time in the history of Malaysian Politics that coalition of political parties has come together to form a Unity Government. He doesn't seem to understand/comprehend what's going on, happening in country. It basically called the start of 'REFORMASI' in Malaysia.
cocomomo : TSMY is a desperado whose legacy as it stands will be “ worst pm ever “ . He wants to show that he & PN are clean when that is not the case .
He wants to show that ph is corrupt when his actions have been deception & corrupt . He does not seem to bother about the nation but himself . Saddening for a long term politician to behave this way .
