There has never been a more deserving time for security and protection than now.
Technological Developments on the rise, with it more sophisticated weapons and armory, claimed to be for Defence sake.
Altogether with the tussle for power and respect, the world as we know it is on the brink of conflict.
In light of possible threats, the survival of a nation becomes the responsiblity of the protectors of the borders.
I for one has little experience watching after a little sibling while he toils and endangers himself. This is nowhere in comparison to what our military stand for, on our behalf.
They are the defenders of State, the True Avengers whom we owe sovereignty to.
Protectors of the pride and innocence, of its citizens.
In the definition of selflessness and courage, there's no better personification than those willing to put their lives on the line for their belief in the Nation and it's citizens, so much to take an Oath of allegiance, never to stray from loyalty and honour to the flag.
The Superheroes.

I respect and appreciate the military for their patriotism, but never knew the depth of their sacrifice for the peace we exoerience.
A soldier who returned from the war front of Somalia, narrated a bit of the experience on battlefield to me.
Gruesomeness, ruins, screams and death but no fear.
"There is no room for fear on the warfront" he said, "Fear will only kill you faster".
Admist all pandemonium, this patriots had to forge on the last defence of state. And finally they conquered.
Most soldiers are recruited at young ages, leaving behind all socialization and rights to freedom, for the face of battle.
In this trying time of war, the world war 1 & 2 and the Jihads (Religious Wars) are nowhere in comparism to the tactics and sophisticated weaponry that exists in the age.
The duty of survival once again falls on the shoulders of this brave men and women, who are willing to place their life on the line.
My utmost respect, appreciation and gratitude goes the military men out their, thank you for your selfless service to the Nation, God be with you.
