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."
Malaysiakini : The popularity of
Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor is expected to bring more
non-Muslim voters to support Perikatan Nasional in Kedah during the
upcoming state election.
This is according to Kedah PN deputy
chief M Marimuthu, who reportedly told a news portal that this was based
on a survey the state party chapter carried out recently.
"Sanusi (above) is a likeable and approachable menteri besar, despite concerns over the ban on 4D (gaming)," he said, as quoted by Free Malaysia Today in its report this morning.
Marimuthu was referring to a controversial decision by the PAS menteri besar, where his administration imposed an effective ban on operations of all gaming shops in Kedah beginning 2022.
According
to the Gerakan leader, Kedah PN expects to increase the votes from
non-Malay voters up to 15 percent in the state election. It would
be almost double the figure PN received from the community in the 15th
general election last November, which was around eight percent, he said.
Marimuthu
said that PN also expects that Sanusi's popularity would help them win
at least 33 out of 36 state seats in Kedah, if not all.
Fuminghot : Dei Marimuthu feel like vomiting after hearing such things from you. We Kedahans are sick of that Sanusi. With his big mouth he cannot bring development to Kedah. He is forever at loggerheads with the Federal government.
HHM : Who will vote for a incompetent person and yes he is popular for not being smart and no quality
Just a Malaysian : Banning 4D outlet is good for the nons. They now have a group of private bookies taking bets with no payment of gambling and income taxes. With online access this is a great business model. Thank you Sanusi. Your stand up comedy with a white flashing smile is real endearing. The Chinese loves you.
