When one thinks about the Military , it is always common to correlate it with guns , ammunitions , wars , casualties and even deaths . Some might say that working in this field is synonymous to walking in mine field where a single error would cost you either you life or your limbs . Others might think of it as a tough job suitable only for those who possess the stomach to endure all the strenuous drills , early morning or late night assembly to drill exercises

These people too have emotions and needs and yet they chose to set them aside because they are given the responsibility to fight for their mother land . If they make mistakes by torturing prisoners of wars , let us not jump into a hasty decision and condemn them for their unwarranted anger . There may be a few bad eggs in the...
