7th Rangers: Updated - Veterans Who Retired Before 2013, Who Actually Fought The Enemies Of This Country, Get Continously Screwed By The Madani Government - Edited and reposting
Fighting Seventh
The Fighting Rangers On War, Politics and Burning Issues
Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."

Salam, Kes Rayuan Veteran Lawan Kerajaan: Tarikh pengumuman Keputusan oleh Hakim Hakim Mahkamah Rayuan ditetapkan pada Hari Selasa 6 Mei 2025. Kena kencing lagi veteranš”š„µšš¤£š
This Post Will Remain On Top For A While
As I sit and ponder this morning, it's a morbid irony in our lives. We fought the enemy, without questioning. We kept the nation peaceful, so that the government and its people can be safe and go about their businesses.
As everyone else knows, we grow old and have to leave active service life, to enjoy the peace we created. We now thoroughly enjoy the rest and prime time with family and friends, which we never had while fighting the insurgency.
Sadly, this government and people have easily forgotten our sacrifices! We matter no more as the job's been done, as the current servicemen and service women do. Be warned my fellow comrades at arms, you will also face the same dilemma as your time shall also come, as sure as the sun rises.
I chatted with a cabinet minister yesterday and was pleasantly surprised when he sympathised with the veterans cause for fair pensions. What a humdinger! Sympathy does not keep us and our better halfs alive, actions do! This government fails to understand and deliver the very simple principle of fairness to the rights of veterans.
All we ask is restore our rightful pensions, no apologies needed, you know who has erred. We fought to keep the nation's sovereignty, now we fight the very same government to seek justice for our lives. How did we end up here? No guessing required, it's all about politics, which we stayed away from for good reason in service.
Well, truth will always triumph and my faith in God and King remains, but for Country I have lesser respect now. I love my country but am embarassed by my pension. God bless my fellow veterans.

We who served hoping that our parents will live comfortably in their twilight years have been screwed by successive UMNO governments, now by the Madani Government in our twilight years too.
I've been saying this some time back - making so much time and effort in rescuing an acknowledged Plundering Idiot that enriched himself, family and cronies - stealing the country blind - and yet, fighting tooth & nail against giving what's actually due to old veterans who had given their best years in the defence of the country!
Many of whom are in the B40, and one foot already in the 6ft hole! Almost half of them I've spent in the jungles of Sabah (Dogoton & Sibumbong, Bangi Island), Sarawak & Peninsula Malaysia! This Maidani Govt has got all its priorities wrong!
Enough Said!Yes, but who's fault is it?
Instead of recovering stolen monies, we keep seeing corruption cases being dropped or given DNAAs, and other sweet deals given to corrupted politicians! Face it - we're today "dispensable" & "inconsequential" an entity, insofar as PMX's evaluation of his power bases are considered!

Sheikh Madani's words count for zilch. Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it
- Mark Twain. Right now, it does not deserve our support
