“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”

“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."
Zahid's land corporation proposal is insidious, unfeasible By P Gunasegaram - In other words a Land Grab, belonging to the Nons

Zahid Hamidi Ponorogo
Malaysiakini : COMMENT | One proposal announced by
no less than Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi went relatively
unnoticed at the recently concluded Bumiputera Economic Congress (BEC),
where a slew of proposals for helping well-off bumiputera was unveiled.
It
could be the most insidious and the one that is most patently unfair to
other Malaysian citizens from whom part of their land would be taken
away upon the renewal or even extension of leases.
According to Zahid, who is also the rural and regional development minister, the government plans to set up a Bumiputera Land Corporation
(Perbadanan Tanah Bumiputera) to preserve land ownership, as part of an
effort to strengthen the community by boosting its land ownership.
According
to a report quoting Zahid, if the lease size exceeds 50 acres (20.23ha)
for agricultural land or 20 acres for industrial use, the proposal
calls for 20 percent of the land to be handed back to the government
upon lease renewal or extension.
realkeluargamalaysia : Sadly, this is the current calibre of leaders Malaysia has had for the past 50 or so decades. The best way they can think of to improve the lot of bumiputeras is an abhorrent land grab scheme. Everyone with enough sense can see where this is going. The only people who will end up benefitting from this plan are the bumiputera elites.
constitutional supremacy : This policy of taking 20% of land belonging to non-malays which is on lease at expiry of lease to be given to Bumiputera co-0peration
is clearly ROBBING nonmalays of their RIGHTS and LIVE LIHOOD.
It is blatant abuse of Power and if challenged will be unconstitutional.
How could we have such policies against own citizens.All citizens have equal rights.
Sabah, Sarawak, PKR, DAP, MCA, MIC, Gerakan, MUDA, PSM, AMANAH, etc please
help.
Under disguise of Bumiputera Agenda they are trying ROB the nonmalays.This is illegal
and immoral.
Knucklehead : True, the implication is huge!
Everything points to telling the NM who build this country economically, to leave this god forsaken country.
Let the ringgit fall!
