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."
The Malay Mail : KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 — Former two-time prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today claimed that Malays “lost everything” after he resigned from office following the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government in February 2020.
Tun M your respect is running out.
The 97-year-old said he sought to hold a “Malay Proclamation” gathering to rally the community into realising the issues they are facing.
“I am complaining now because the Malays lost everything after I resigned as prime minister.
“Indeed, the Malays became so poor after I was no longer the prime minister,” he said on Facebook.
He claimed the Malay Proclamation gathering was obstructed by certain other parties and was a betrayal of a promise in the Federal Constitution.
He claimed Umno no longer holds on to the goals of its establishment as it has not protested against the obstruction of the Malay Proclamation.
“That is why other parties are needed to protect the rights of the Malays and other Bumiputera,” he added.
He said that these are all reasons for Malays to oppose the government led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
