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."
‘Shocking': NGO slams photos of kids carrying toy guns in schools
Friday, October 27, 2023
Malaysiakini : An NGO has slammed the "horrifying and shocking" pictures of young
children carrying toy guns, allegedly linked to the Education Ministry's
"Palestine Solidarity Week" in schools. As such, Global Human Rights Federation president S Shashi Kumar urged Putrajaya to immediately put a stop to the programme.
He also shared several screenshots of social media posts made by a teacher whom he claimed worked in a school in Klang. The
photos featured schoolchildren carrying toy guns and machine guns -
while donning headbands voicing support for Palestine, as well as the
black and white “Palestinian scarf”.
"This is exactly what we (NGOs) were worried about. This is wrong,
and we object (to it) very strongly. Teachers are not trained (to
conduct such programmes). "The programmes should be a solidarity
event, premised on humanity, as wars are happening everywhere, and not
be so Palestine-centric," Shashi Kumar told Malaysiakini.

He
also called on Putrajaya to focus on issues affecting Malaysia - such
as the free-falling ringgit, the lukewarm economy and the skyrocketing
cost of living. "Don't misunderstand me, helping Palestinians is not wrong but there are better things for the government to do now.
"(Also),
what are we teaching the children (with such programmes)? Turn them
into extremists? The Education Ministry should immediately stop this
nonsense," he added. The rakyat, he said, are becoming
increasingly tired of the government’s indifference over pressing issues
and failure to heed criticism will turn the administration into a
“failed government”.
Come on man : PMX and his cabinet members - please say something and tell us in no certain ways, you all reject all these nonsense. What in the world are these children bringing (toy) guns to school?
What are we trying to inculcate into their feeble young minds? I really think, PMX and his team, you have lost the plot to win and maintain the support of ordinary Malaysians. And yes, the EDUCATION Minister is clueless.
A153 : What has this country become?
DAP without a doubt, you are the New Eunuchs.
The Education Minister should resign.
A useless and dangerous Prime Minister.
This is shocking and shameful.
This country is in deep deep trouble.
Ranjit Singh Malhi : Dear Education Minister, if you have any self-respect or dignity left, please resign immediately. You have now put Malaysia on the world map for the wrong reasons.
Koel : Education Minister, Fadlina, congratulations to you on turning our schools into some third world camp for developing child soldiers. This is beyond belief and has no wisdom or dignity. You are an absolute disgrace and should step down. That is what a more honourable person would do.
