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."
King won't entertain coup attempts, tells politicians to wait for next GE By Hariz Mohd & Isabelle Leong

Malaysiakini : PARLIAMENT | Yang di-Pertuan Agong
Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar this morning told MPs from both sides of
the political divide that he would not entertain any attempt to topple
the government.
In his royal decree during the opening of Dewan
Rakyat's new session today, the king said everyone should respect the
coalition government that has been formed.
"I wish to stress here
that I will not entertain any request from any party who tries to
disrupt the country's political stability. "All parties must
accept the reality and respect the unity government that has been
formed. Should any of you want to play politics, then wait until the
next election," he said.
Sultan Ibrahim urged all MPs to work together towards building the
nation and serving the rakyat as the country's success or failure should
be on the shoulders of every elected representative.
"In my
eyes, the success or failure of this country is not only on the
shoulders of the prime minister alone, but all members of the Dewan
Rakyat who have been given the responsibility by the rakyat to represent
them.
"As everyone knows, my priority is the living conditions of
over 33 million Malaysians. Thus, I hope that all Yang Berhormat will
focus on helping the rakyat instead of working for your political party
or your personal interests," he added.
BadCaptain : Game Over for PN/PAS. Throw Muafakat Nasional out of the window into the dustbin. I anticipated the new DYMM Seri Paduka Agong would issue a royal decree in his Parliamentary speech to stop all this move nonsense, giving foreign investors more assurance and confidence.
