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 : Umno supreme council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi has doubled down on
his remarks against PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli's performance as
the minister in charge of the economic portfolio.
This comes after Umno secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki noted a need for the party to reel in its leaders from attacking others in government. “I
was accused of shooting myself in the foot. Is asking Rafizi to present
a realistic and extraordinary formula considered shooting my self in
the foot?
“Is urging the minister that "performed" be considered shooting oneself in the foot? “What is wrong with Rafizi being reprimanded? If he is exceptional, the unity government will be stronger,” Puad (above) said in a statement on Facebook.
Asyraf had said earlier that the party needed to contain and manage this kind of action.

"There is no point if we keep on attacking each other. Shoot our own foot to please certain quarters of society. "When
we form the government, it is a collective responsibility. It is not a
one-man show; we need to put a stop to the blame game," he added.
Vgeorgemy : It is well documented that the downward trajectory of our economy started with 1MDB looting and the kleptocracy of Puad’s currently jailed boss. Puad now wants to rewrite history by blaming the current ministers.
GrayPigeon2115 : Puad, you have a hidden agenda with your comment and just a damn loud mouth good for nothing except for your own selfish end. Don't pretend to be stupid. Ofcourse you can criticised, reprimanded and give an opinion as well but you are missing the point what your team member is advising you and you are playing stupid.
Whether you are right or wrong is another matter but whatever opinion you have with your own Team ( Unity Govt) bring it to the attention to the leaders and not openly criticize your own team members - that is call shooting yourself in the own foot !!!! Hopefully you have the brain to understand the difference now.
