No Atheists
In A Foxhole

Rudyard Kipling

" ā€œWhen 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

" ā€œWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā€

ā€œIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā€
ā€œOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
ā€œThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace,
for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā€
ā€œMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā€
ā€œThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

ā€œNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
ā€œIt 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."

Pre-dawn blasts at border post
Thursday, January 11, 2007
The encampment is one of the two co-ordinated border positions created by the Malaysian and Thai security services to carry out joint patrols.

It is located about 50 metres from the Thai army border post. The platoon was sent in on Jan 6 and was supposed to stay there for three months.

Mohammad Ismail said the army was investigating the incident and that the situation along the border was under control.

"Initial investigations showed that the explosions could be from hand grenades. But we are unsure whether it was an attack on our post," he told a Press conference before visiting the injured at the army hospital at Lapangan Terbang Camp in Sungai Petani.

He denied foreign news reports quoting the Thai army that the Malaysian soldiers were conducting an exercise at that time.

"To date, we have not received any information from the Thai army regarding the incident.

"If the situation warrants it, we will discuss with our counterparts. But right now, we donā€™t see a need to do so as the situation is normal," he said.

Bernama reported Thai army spokesman General Akara Thitrot as saying that the four sustained minor injuries and were treated at Kanto Hospital in Yala.

"They are still investigating the incident, but initial reports showed that it was an accident," he said.

However, Mohammad Ismail said Thai troops helped take the injured soldiers to a local village clinic in Ban Bin Samoe before they were airlifted to the hospital in Kedah.

Sources said that around 3am, soldiers at the post detected the presence of a group of men surrounding it.

After two hours of tense waiting, two explosions went off, resulting in the injuries to the four. The unknown group was said to have retreated after the soldiers opened fire.

Mohammad Ismail, however, declined to comment on the allegation that the soldiers were attacked.

"Please donā€™t speculate. We are still investigating," he said.

Meanwhile, Mat Nazirā€™s wife Nor Hashimah Hashim, 29, from Taman Mahsuri Kulim, said when she visited him, he was conscious and stable.

"I donā€™t regret that this happened because I knew the risks that he would have to go through as a soldier. Iā€™m just glad that he is alive," she said.

The couple has two daughters aged five and six. Nor Hashimah is a nurse. NST
