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."
From Malaysiakini Umno is not racist, claims Najib Sarajun Hoda: Umno
is indeed a racist party. First it is based on one race. Second, it
practices a racist agenda by pointing the keris at others. Thirdly,
if it was not racist, they would not have forced its founder Onn Jaafar
to leave and form a multiracial party instead. Fourthly, it imposes its
racist policies over others including its coalition partners, also
mostly racist parties. Fifth, promoting ‘ketuanan Melayu', trying
to engage PAS in secret talks to advance its racist agenda is yet
another proof. Sixth, giving its running dog, Perkasa, complete impunity
to vomit what is otherwise Umno's own racist ideology, is a loud and
clear sign. The fielding of infamous racist frogs, Ibrahim Ali
and Zulkifli Noordin, as Umno candidates in GE13 is the clearest of all.
Umno is racist to its core and Najib cannot fool Malaysians by lying
and lying, and lying further.
Kokkeong: If it is
true that Umno is not racist, then how come the first to come out of
your mouth after the election results did not please you was a patently
racist remark? Worse yet, who spewed the nonsense defending Utusan Malaysia's racism?
During the election campaign, the only action you displayed when
appealing to non-Malays was cash, free meals, or promising to upgrade
Chinese schools. There was nothing as far as communicating with
non-Malays as equals. You were not interested in what non-Malays
think, their heart and soul. You were only interested in buying them off
to shut them up. How insulting was that. Pemerhati: This is a typical lying fork-tongued Umno politician. When it suits him he will talk of the keris and Chinese blood, get his gutter press like Utusan
to make false racist accusations against the Chinese and come out with
inflammatory statements like ‘what more do the Chinese want', get his
Perkasa racist goons and other thugs to try and cause racial and
religious tension by making a big issue over the word ‘Allah' or get
some lackeys to drag a cow's head in public. Now this illegal and
illegitimate PM whose party has been rejected by the majority of
Malaysians pretends to be a nice guy by coming out with hypocritical and
blatantly false statements like, "Umno is not a racist party because it
has always given justice to the people regardless of their race." It
is almost certain that investigations will soon reveal that Umno won
the elections through fraud. What the majority of Malaysians want to
know is how to get rid of these Umno crooks if the investigations indeed
do reveal there is massive fraud. 2LAN Slogans
and more slogans do not erase the fact that Umno is racist because it
owns the most racist newspapers in Malaysia and it sponsors the most
racist NGO in Perkasa. Is Umno open to other races? Prime Minister Najib Razak, please grow up and wise up because the public already has. Xena: Najib, why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Chks: Please don't forget that MCA, through The Star,
advertised full-page messages such as ‘one vote for DAP is one vote for
PAS'. So what if we give one vote for PAS? What's wrong with PAS? Is it
because their members are Muslim/Malay? Utusan has been sending racist messages on behalf of Umno, The Star has
been sending racist messages on behalf of MCA - these are the main
reasons for your downfall, Najib. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to
figure that out. Why is BN so bigoted? Already the election results is an obvious message to all, but they still cannot see it. Amateur: Najib,
start the ‘muhasabah' with yourself first. You are still in denial. If
Umno is not racist, why must your leaders consistently stress on race,
religion and royalty (meaning race is your top priority). Thus, please
do not insult our intelligence.
Amalgam: Najib
says the most silly things - if Umno is not racist, why support Perkasa
and take no action on Ibrahim Ali's racist statements? Pray tell,
why field Perkasa vice-president Zulkifli Noordin as a candidate in
Shah Alam, and why show the ‘Tanda Putera' film behind closed doors and
only to Malays? If you claim Umno is not racist, prove this to us
- tell former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad to stop interfering with Umno and
stay out of the country's governance.
Zen: As
always, the Malays will lose their political as well as economic power
by following the scheming policies of racist parties that will
eventually weaken them without them even knowing it. So until some of these Malays realise that they have been conned, they will keep losing whatever advantages that they have. The old Malay saying is apt, "Menang sorak kampung tergadai" (You may win at shouting but you lose your village).
