“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”

“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 anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.

“Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man."
“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

Photobucket
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."

Seventh Rangers (Mechanized)
Friday, July 18, 2008
This is a video using motionbox on the Seventh Rangers (Mech). Previously had some glitches. Had it fixed only recently.



If any Malaysian ever wants to join a fighting unit, a good choice would be the Rangers. The Rangers are unique in the sense that they have many races with different cultural values, when these diverse values come together they become a formidable fighting force. The Rangers used to strike terror into the hearts of her enemies during the long fight against the Communist Insurgents.They have served with valour and courage aganist the Indons and the Communists. Many have laid down their lives, with some maimed for life. Their motto, "AGI IDUP AGI NGELABAN", which means "While there is life there is fight". Their place of birth was Sarawak.

Like the saying, "a picture paints a thousand words", well this clip shows a bit about 7th Rangers (Mechanized). This unit is one of the most blooded unit in the Malaysian Armed Forces. It is very steeped in tradition. For example when 15 soldiers were killed in a vehicular ambush in 1972, the enemy was relentlessly pursued, killed and all the weapons captured from the dead soldiers were recovered. The last weapon recovered was in 1986. The Officers and soldiers of this unit are a very special breed of warriors. They served with distinction in Somalia and Cambodia. In Somalia they were under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which meant "peace enforcement". Their history can be found here....
