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."
Sacked from Umno, Annuar writes cryptic message of watching party burn
Friday, December 09, 2022
Malaysiakini : Hours after he was sacked from Umno by the party’s supreme
council, former Ketereh Umno division chief Annuar Musa this morning
posted a somewhat cryptic message saying that he now can only watch his
“house” burn from the outside.
Annuar (above) hinted that he had been trying to save Umno from destruction, but was instead pulled out of the fight.
“On
Friday night, I had a dream. The inherited house that I have been
living in was on fire. I suspected that either the main switch had a
short circuit or had one of its cables cut off.
“I love the house. I tried to put off the fire so that we could stop more of its occupants from abandoning our house.
“But as the fire was blazing and many others continued to leave
the house, I was suddenly pulled out. And now I can only watch from the
outside as the fire burns it down,” he said on Facebook.
The posting was made hours after the Umno supreme council had a meeting last night, where they reportedly decided to sack Annuar and two other party divisional leaders from the party.
According
to Umno supreme council member Puad Zarkashi, the three were sacked
because they had “criticised the party” and campaigned for a rival party
during the recent general election.
It was learned that the two others were the Wanita chiefs for Arau and Maran Umno divisions.
