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."
PM: Azam, Idrus' tenure extended as they're doing a good job By Yasmin Ramlan

Malaysiakini : MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki and Attorney-General Idrus Harun's contracts were extended because they have been carrying out their duties satisfactorily, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
He said this is especially after the MACC and attorney-general were given more freedom to operate. 'He (Azam) was appointed by (then) prime minister (from) Pagoh (Muhyiddin Yassin). "Even though there were issues raised at first, I saw that after I gave the MACC and attorney-general more leeway to carry out their duties, as far as I see, they have been doing so satisfactorily,” Anwar said at a press conference in Putrajaya today.
He added that with this leeway, action had been taken without fear or
favour, leading to a minister's office being searched and action being
taken against officers. "So in that capacity, we extended his service," Anwar said. He said this when asked why Azam's contract was extended.
Attorney-General Idrus Harun
Azam reached his mandatory retirement age last Friday. However, his contract has been extended by one year. Earlier in March, Idrus - who was also appointed by Muhyiddin - also had his contract extended by six months.
Dino : By extending this 2 fella contract PN cannot cry injustice because they are the one who appointed this 2.
