Well, even though this post of mine is inspired by the recent events occurring between India and Pakistan, the “words” hold true for any nation in any continent – no matter how developed, or developing! It breaks my heart to see how “political influence/inclination” surpasses one’s judgement of what’s right and wrong. In all honesty (and just to be clear), I am not the “political” kinds and have zero to none political inclination towards one (or any) “wing!” But when it comes to the honor of “men in uniform” – It gets a little too much for me to handle and hence this “gyan!”
I hope we realize the consequences of our words and action and start to look at life in a better light and give the “due” where required. Everything does not demand scrutiny and hatred, specially not the ones who are sacrificing their all for YOU!
Hoping for ONE “RESPECTFUL” WORLD!
Love,

Nicely done. The political and news channel propaganda often diminish the values and sacrifices

Thanks S!🙏🙏
What a beautiful thought – thanks for the share again
Well said. It’s an atrocity when countries are at war. Political differences are one of the reasons some go to war and definitely a cause for civil conflict. My heart goes out to all those who lose in wars that should never be.
🙏🙏
I agree… people are so caught up in their political beliefs nowadays that they forget the people caught in the middle fighting so that we can enjoy the lives that we have. Our people in uniform truly get the low end of the stick when it comes to politics… kind of damned if they do, damned if they don’t. I personally think these political parties divide us. Why can’t we be human beings with our own beliefs and not be segregated because of them? Really awesome and thought-provoking post!
Thank you, I am glad this resonated with you!🙏🙏
You’re very welcome! 😊
It’s high time to stand up with soldiers.
Great post👌
Jai hind.!!!

Wonderful thought and advice. Those who serve their nation primarily do so to serve a cause greater than themselves – to help protect those they serve and to further the nation’s national defense. Of course there are various thoughts but I agree with you. Particularly in the U.S., the members of the Armed Forces are apolitical. They have personal feelings, of course, but they cannot be political in their outward thoughts or actions. Those who still serve actively follow the orders of the duly elected leadership in respective positions, who are supposed to serve on behalf of the citizens. Sorry to get lengthy here. Thanks again. 🙂

Thank you so much for taking out the time to read and comment. I really appreciate it!🙏🙏
My pleasure. Thanks for triggering the thought. 🙂
I can so relate to what you’ve said, specially since I come from the army background and also because my Dad’s a Colonel in the Indian Army. I;m glad you could join the dots of my random thoughts!🙏
Yes indeed. Thank you and your family for the dedication and sacrifices. I glad I had the opportunity to serve for a career. Some may not realize that military service works toward peace through strength. 🙂❤️
Beautiful message! ♥️ Unfortunately, the easiest way to get people to vote for you is through fear and anger…

♥️ very nicely said. xx

Such a lovely and meaningful post Richa. I was always taught to think before you speak, for your words could hurt or have a strong impact on others or around you. 😊❣

Thank you Pam!🙏🙏
Thank you Richa…Not sure if you mean this for me or you’re sharing it with me…Hehe
Hahaha.. Of course I was sharing it with you, to add (and reckon) to what you’ve said sweetie! Coz what you’ve said is absolutely right!❤️❤️
Aww thank you and I will keep that to heart and teach it to my nephews, nieces, and other family members. Have a great weekend 😀💖
Aww.. You are so sweet! Yes that’s a wonderful lesson to be taught! 😉
Thanks love! You too have a blessed weekend and stay warm!❤️
Aww thank you so much my dear. I will keep it to heart and mind and teach it to my nephews, nieces and other family members..Have a great weekend!! 😀💖🙏
Well said.
🙏🙏
Right you are!
🙏🙏
Preach!! 🙏
🙏🙏
I agree with your thoughts dear
🙏🙏
Those who celebrate war will not participate in the war, those who participate in the war will never celebrate war.
I agree! Being a daughter to a Colonel in the Indian Army, I can so relate to this!🙏🙏
My grandfather, uncle and cousins from the maternal side all have and are serving in the army so I can understand the sentiment. 🙏❤️
I so appreciate them and you for your service to the nation! THANK YOU!🙏🙏
That’s so sweet of you to say! I too appreciate their service to the nation. 🙏🙏
Great and responsible share. No words to describe the sacrifice done by the soldiers and their families. All we need is there should not be any war in any part of this world.
You are so right! War was, and never will a solution to anything!🙏🙏
Yes, I had much older friends who went to Vietnam, I opposed the war but not the poor devils in uniform who were sent by our leaders, wasn’t their choice and I don’t see that we should mock or vilify those who serve. If we are to critique (as opposed to mock) then critique the politicians who get us into wars.
You are so right and I am complete agreement to what you’ve said. Wish there were more people like you around!🙏🙏
I know a few 🙂 and thank you 🙂
❤️❤️❤️

Well written, I agreed with you, interesting post as always.
Aww.. Thank you so much sweetheart!❤️
Very well said and so very true! This is so thought-provoking. I do agree with that ”think before you speak”.
Thank you so much sweetheart! Yes, our words hold more power than we can even fathom!❤️
Absolutely right Richa. Beautifully written. x
Glad it resonated.. Thank you so much!🙏
Agreed.
The thing is that some people don’t appreciate the solders. They see them as stupid puppets. Pawns in a senseless game.
Sadly, yes! 🙁
Wish if things could change, and we could learn to give the due where/when required!
I agree with everything you say here. Thank you for speaking out on this. Their job is supremely important and everyone should know!
Glad it resonated with you.. Thank you so much!🙏
