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."
Rafizi: Going after Azam Baki? That’s not what I meant By Isabelle Leong & Ng Xiang Yi

Malaysiakini : PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli clarified that he did not threaten
to go after MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki when campaigning in the
15th general election (GE15).
When asked by a reporter on the
matter during his maiden presser as minister this morning, Rafizi
explained that what he said was merely to serve as a “political
soundbyte”.
Instead, Rafizi (above, right) said the priority now is to ensure enforcement agencies are independent.
“I
don’t think that’s exactly what I said,” he said, referring to threats
that he will go after Azam over the latter’s previous alleged
shareholding scandal.
“Not just him (Azam) or myself. We have to be careful in what we do,” the Economic Affairs Minister stated.
On Nov 16, Rafizi said at a Harapan event that Azam must be taken to court over the graft buster’s raid of the former’s company, Invoke Solutions Sdn Bhd.
Krabian : Pre GE15 meant one thing.
Post GE15 means another.
Politician with their flying mouth.
Nevertheless, Azam Baki must be probe for his shares fiasco.
