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."
DAP should quit kowtowing to extremists By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy

Malaysiakini : "DAP, once vocal in condemning 'kleptocratic' politics, now chooses silence. Silence for what? For positions in the cabinet.”
- PAS information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari
COMMENT
| What was shocking about the “Green Wave’s” recent attacks against DAP
was the near silence from the mandarins of Pakatan Harapan when it came
to the defence of the largest coalition partner in the unity
government.
After all, DAP has been a team player. Remember when its secretary-general Anthony Loke said he would sacrifice anything for Anwar Ibrahim to be prime minister?
“So
I wish to put on record, as I said just now, on Nov 22, before Anwar
went to Istana Negara, I told him, as long as you can be prime minister,
DAP is willing to sacrifice anything, that is my commitment to Anwar,”
he had said in 2022.
With Umno in the mix, it has been a nightmare. Umno youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh has made it clear what he thinks of DAP.
As someone who has been in his crosshairs, Teresa Kok
said, “One dilemma faced by DAP is having to respond to the challenge
from Umno, particularly from Akmal, who issues racist statements every
week that target DAP.
“If DAP does not respond, we would be seen as a ‘muted’ party by the Chinese and Indian communities.
“However, when we get into loggerheads with Umno and Umno Youth like before, the Malays see us as being rude and racist.”
Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh
This,
of course, is rather bizarre because apparently, DAP still thinks it is
better not to confront someone like Akmal because the Malays will think
it is rude even though a majority of them have shifted their allegiance
to Perikatan Nasional/PAS.
Dr Suresh Kumar : "So I wish to put on record, as I said just now, on Nov 22, before Anwar went to Istana Negara, I told him, as long as you can be prime minister, DAP is willing to sacrifice anything, that is my commitment to Anwar”- This takes the cake.
AL is a meek politician. Do the entire DAP members agree with this ridiculous statement? Do his supporters agree with his lunacy? Being the GS of DAP does not give him the right to come up with unilateral decisions especially when you are well aware of the manipulative nature of the madani man.
No wonder, Anwar was willing to throw Theresa Kok under the bus, because AL and lately the big mouth but empty vessel Rayar are willing to sacrifice anything as long as Anwar remains the prime minister.
Therefore I am not wrong for saying DAP has become a eunuch party that lost its marbles. There goes their often repeated mantra of 'principles, 'good governance', 'secularism' 'transparency', CAT and what not.
Optimus : DAP led by AL is spineless and tone deaf, but most importantly was time and again thrown under the bus by PMX silrnce when they are attacked by umno, pas bersatu and even mca.
MS : "So I wish to put on record, as I said just now, on Nov 22, before Anwar went to Istana Negara, I told him, as long as you can be prime minister, DAP is willing to sacrifice anything, that is my commitment to Anwar”
Sacrifice anything...including personal integrity, the multiracialism it once espoused including its willingness to speak truth to power.
Conclusion? If there is anything to match the cunning and betrayal by Anwar, it must be the DAP which has proven to be totally spineless, unprincipled and as conniving as the worst of the political humbugs the country keeps spawning.
DAP as just taste the sweet been in cabinet chair. Pass years heroes like Lim kit siang, karpal ect as not taste it. That's the reason DAP was very vocal but not the playground is different totally fir DAP.
