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 ordered to file defence over defamation suit by Tuan Ibrahim
Wednesday, December 21, 2022
Malaysiakini : The High Court in Kuala Lumpur today ordered Economy Minister Rafizi
Ramli to file his defence over a defamation suit filed against him by
former environment and water minister Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man the latest
by Dec 28.
Tuan Ibrahim filed the suit against Rafizi last Nov 17
for allegedly defaming him regarding the approval of several projects,
including flood mitigation, to a company.
Lawyer Yusfarizal
Yussoff, representing Tuan Ibrahim, said the court also ordered his
client to file his reply to the defence statement by Jan 11.
“If
there’s an interlocutory application, both parties are required to file
the application before the case management on Jan 25, 2023,” he said
when contacted after today’s case management, conducted online, before
deputy registrar Idamasliza Maarof.
Cogito Ergo Sum : Tuan Ibrahim took the bait and fell for it! Everything will now be open. How contracts were being dished out under PN. Like the late boxer Muhammad Ali said ‘Rope a dope’. And the dope is roped!
boboi : Good. That's exactly what Rafizi had hoped for - to expose in court the facts.
