A Soldier always a Soldier

Col Parmjit Singh
” I am a soldier. I fight where I am told. I win where I fight”.
Gen George S Patton

A soldier talks of only nation and always first nation. A soldier is really god’s beautiful creation. And uppermost loves his nation. When nation asks for sacrifice, makes supreme sacrifice for his nation. Salute the soldiers. They do a Herculean job, despite your hesitation if any .They deserve the most. But they will never demand.
Only victory for us they claim/ reclaim. A soldier is the one who has the super duper qualities as enunciated below:-
COURAGE (physical and moral ) COMMITMENT (promise) and CONVICTION (a strong belief ).
DISCIPLINE (obey rules and behaves well) DEDICATION (give time and energy) DETERMINATION (do even if it is difficult) and DEVOTION (loyalty, love or care).
AN ANECDOTE ( TYPICAL EXAMPLE ) OF A SOLDIER IS ALWAYS A SOLDIER. Former Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal, SHFJ Manekshaw, while he was admitted in Hospital, former President of India, Supreme Commander of Armed forces APJ Abdul Kalam came to look him up and he asked the Chief any problem. To which the Chief replied by saying that, ”Sir, my grievance is that I am not able to get up and salute my most respected President of my beloved country. ”
A true example of a soldier is always a soldier. Hai naa kable tareef (praiseworthy). Koi swal koi shak (any questions, any doubts). No question and no doubt. We are doubly sure that a soldier is always a soldier. Amply proved beyond doubts.
Gallantly the soldiers fought. Made supreme sacrifice. Roared like lions. Gallantly they fought. And laid down their lives. What for? For us. For our better tomorrow. They had fallen. But always live in our hearts
Twenty four hours round the clock. They deserve a salute. They deserve respect. They always commanded respect. They never demanded respect. Come what May. We would always pay our tribute to them, to the fallen heroes of wars and battles. They deserve it by all means and without any reservations. A soldier is always a soldier. Period.
We can never forget their heroic deeds. Definitely not. They fought, courageously they fought and made a supreme sacrifice by laying down their lives. Life or death doesn’t matter to them. It is the call of duty which matters to them. May they all Rest in Peace in heaven who are not amongst us. The fallen heroes are remembered by us all. We are compelled in remembering them in our hearts and minds forever. This is how the Indian army soldiers think and are. Our soldiers are always great warriors and fight tooth and nail to bring laurels to the nation by winning wars.
Who can forget their supreme sacrifices. The nation will always remember them. And their families, veer naris will always be looked after in a most befitting manner. Veer naris deserve respect and always hold a special place in army fraternity and they represent their fallen heroes ( dear husbands).
WELL DONE BRAVEHEARTS VICTORY WAS BECAUSE OF YOU. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Even after doing reckonable colorful service and hanging up their boots (retirement) all soldiers (officers, junior commissioned officers, and others) maintain the ditto characteristics as explained above. They maintain correct protocol and dignity in paying compliments to each other as per the existing norms of service , as they had been doing while in active service. This is the hallmark of beauty of being a disciplined, dedicated, devoted, committed, full of courage and a soldier with conviction. Wow great being a soldier always a soldier. Their mannerism, etiquettes and other qualities keep them going and are well recognized above all other services in the country. The soldiers perform much better both in Army and civil (carrying out civic actions as and when required, sometimes at their own initiative and sometimes ordered to do and they do it at blitz kriez speed). The soldiers remain humble and grounded. They have earned due respects from all. That’s great and gives immense pleasure to all soldiers indeed. Well done soldiers.
A soldier’s camaraderie and strong bonding is greatly appreciated always. They all are from different states and castes despite that they all live together, eat together, play games together, do training together { dash , down, crawl, aad pakdo ( take cover), observe and fire, fire for effect (FFE) and fight during wars together }. They are a perfect example of great harmony.
The soldiers are true patriots and really speaking die hard nationalists. They are the real protectors of our international borders, ensuring completely the territorial integrity ({ks=h; v[kaMrk½

of our nation, even at the cost of making a supreme sacrifice, and are rightly and indisputably called THE LAST BASTION OF THE NATION ( last resort). They so far have never failed and we assure all that they will never fail in future too. Hai naa great thing about a soldier the great. A soldier is a soldier always. Sine qua non, a soldier deserves a pat.
SOLDIER KUCH KAR JATA HAI AISA KAAM. ZINDA REHTA HAI USKA HAMESA NAAM. A soldier fiercely fights and wins. He never gives up till his last breath. A SOLDIER IS ALWAYS A SOLDIER. Come what may he fights to win. He loves his people and his nation the most, and is a true nationalist of course.
