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 - The Running Dog of Pakatan Harapan
Malaysiakini : "Either Umno and the police are covering up an impending terror attack, or MCA is making things up
to scare non-Muslims into submission. The most concerning problem
before us is that senior officials from the same ruling coalition are
telling two conflicting stories to justify a policy decision that runs
against the grain of the Malaysian social fabric, and is severely
dividing our society. It is no wonder that there is a deficit of trust
and confidence in government institutions."– Howard Lee, DAP Youth chief
COMMENT |
DAP’s scorched earth policy when it comes to MCA was always a dubious
strategy. Recent events have demonstrated that in the same position,
DAP espouses the same kind of rhetoric and manoeuvrings that MCA was
demonised for.
In
2012, when debating MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek, DAP
secretary-general Lim Guan Eng claimed: “We should not bow to fate and
have the right to equality. We should not kneel and beg. We should be
brave enough to stand and ask for it.”
