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 : About 12 people clad in yellow, bearing yellow balloons, gathered in
downtown Kuala Lumpur today and called for the prime minister to be
ousted.
However, this was not another Bersih gathering, but the
“launch” of a movement by Perikatan Nasional-linked activist group
Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM).
SAMM founder Badrul Hisham
Shaharin, better known as Chegubard, had previously said the group would
hold a rally against the government soon but stressed that today’s
event was not it.
However, he proclaimed that street protests would eventually lead to Anwar’s downfall. “Anwar rose through the streets and I believe the streets will drag
Anwar back down,” Badrul said when addressing the press outside the Sogo
shopping mall.
He did not specify when exactly the group would organise a rally against the prime minister. “We do not want to topple the government, we just want to change Anwar,” he also said.
The
movement, dubbed “Tukar PM Segera” (change the PM now), claimed that
Anwar has failed to deliver on reforms and tackle the rising cost of
living while endorsing corruption and nepotism. Badrul - who is a Bersatu member - also claimed that the “social
contract” on bumiputera and Islamic matters is being undermined.
The SAMM founder had previously peddled a racist conspiracy theory that police were trying to cover up his complaints against Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh. He said this was because non-Muslim investigators were put in charge of police reports by him and Yeoh instead of Muslim cops. The police shot down his allegations.
Promotional
material for SAMM’s event today co-opted artwork of Anwar by graphic
artist Fahmi Reza from his 2015 colouring book on political figures. SAMM had edited the artwork to give Anwar a clown nose, as well as a black eye.
Madani Malaysia : 'Badrul - who is a Bersatu member - also claimed that the “social contract” on bumiputera and Islamic matters is being undermined'.
These fellows are not fit to wear the Bersih color that represent right thinking Malaysians that do an honest day's work to put food on the table.
What strikes out appears to be under worked and overfed political clowns taking to the streets for more entitlement in the name of race and religion.
As for the so called social contract (if ever there was one) the non-Malays have honored their part of the so called deal through their sacrifices through 60 years of NEP and affirmative action plans exclusively for the bumiputras.
Ironically it has also led to the Malays forming the largest pool under the B40 category.
Obviously the so called social contract seems not to be the answer seen from the above photo of flabby well fed minions.
Optimus : Never ending bumiputera and Islamic matters. Seems this specific group even when carrying the tongkat till the day when they are six feet underground will still not be enough, but they will continue to demand tongkat for generations to come. A real bangsa malusia!
Badrul said Anwar had become the “badut negara” (national clown) since he became prime minister. More here.......
