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."
Najib’s senior at Kajang prison swoops on ‘privileges for pigeon’ By Shakira Buang
Tuesday, September 20, 2022
Mahfuz Omar
Malaysiakini : Amanah vice-president Mahfuz Omar, who described himself as Najib
Abdul Razak’s senior at Kajang prison, is also demanding answers from
the government over an anonymous message claiming that the former
premier has been accorded certain privileges.
Calling on the
authorities to treat all prisoners in the same manner, he said: “I was
imprisoned in Kajang myself. I am more senior than Najib in Kajang but I
did not get any special treatment.”
Mahfuz (above) said
the public must know the truth if the government is spending taxpayers’
money on the former premier, who is serving a 12-year prison sentence
for corruption.
“The government must explain the real situation and status,” he told Malaysiakini this afternoon.
The Amanah leader said if the allegations are true, the government
must explain the rationale for forking out more money for Najib when
there is no guarantee that the nation would recover the losses incurred
in relation to the SRC International and 1MDB scandals even after the
former premier is released.
Mahfuz
was commenting on the message making rounds on social media, which
referred to Najib with the codename "merpati" (pigeon).
Among
others, the message alleged that Najib’s prison cell has been renovated
and there are plans to move him to the Cheras Rehabilitation Hospital
(CRH) to allow more access to visitors and VVIP facilities.
PinkMacaw3429 : If Najib Razak always pretending to be sick during his court cases, the prison dept, should built a Trolly Hospital bed so that he can be transported to the court on the trolly bed.
This way it save the court’s time and money. Just like ex-President Mubarak of Egypt. I hope the court and prison department consider this suggestion seriously.
