We are ''SOLDIERS''

I am a proud SOLDIER 

Civilians have University, 

Military Have Training College.

They Have Vice Chancellor, We Have Commandant.

They Have Lecturers, 

We Have Instructors

Their Day Starts by 0700hrs,

But Ours by 0400hrs.

They Wake up 0600hrs, 

We Jump up 0300hrs.

They Shake Hands, 

We Salute.

They Wear Gucci, 

We Wear Camo/Khaki.

They Keep Their Hairs,

We Cut Off Our Hairs.

They Wake Up, 

We Jump Up.

They walk, 

We Double In Divisions.

They Have Students, 

We Have Cadets/Recruits.

They Have Dining Halls, 

We Have Mess.

They Go On Break, 

We Go On Pass.

They Have Conference Hall, 

We Have Parade Ground.

They Have Graduation Party, 

We Have Passing Out Parade

To Them Injury Is For One And One Only 

Whilst To Us Injury For One is Injury For All.

They Get Short Term Light Drills Only In Their graduation! 

Whilst Rigorous Drills Is Our Everyday Blood Tonic.

They Are School colleagues, 

We Are Brothers.

They Have Civilian Blood

We Have MILITARY Blood.

They Demand For Respect

We Command Respect.

We took this job knowing that we may never get rich.

We 've missed out so many holidays, church/mosque services and special occasions in order to protect lives.

We are expected to work miracles and do things other people are scared to do and even save lives. 

It has been proven that our life expectancy is shorter than theirs because of the stress, we go through and the sickness, we get exposed to, and yet there are no hero movies about us. 

We must give our life everyday for people we dont know, have never met before and even those who don't like us. 

When our family is home suffering alone, we are out here in the cold, dangerous situations and all in the name of protecting property while saving lives. 

We are warriors who gave oath to die for our people!

We are ''SOLDIERS'' 

TO ALL THE SOLDIERS OUT THERE LIVING AND DEAD, I SALUTE YOUR SACRIFICE FOR PEACE AND FOR THOSE WHO PAID THE SUPREME PRIZE MAY YOUR SACRIFICE NEVER BE IN VAIN.

steadyaku47 comment : I would say that our last line of defence against a corrupt and arrogant umno will have to be our Angkatan Tentera Malaysia. For only they could be the bastion against these bunch of corrupt politicians in BN who wants to hold on to government at any costs - even if that costs requires them to ignore the demands of Malaysian who no longer want them in government.
