Soldiers: the real heroes

Soldiers are rightly referred to as the real heroes. Discipline, determination, robust physique, mental strength, good intentions and love for their country – They possess all the qualities we look for in a hero. Soldiers have immense love for their nation and a sense of personal pride in themselves. These behaviours encourage them to join the profession of soldiering and serve their nation. While everyone and every profession in their own ways serves the nation, a soldier’s life is different. The training they undergo to refines and strengthens them and that is what makes them so.

If I had to describe the life of soldiers in a single word, I would describe it as “patriotic”. Even though some of you would like to call it “tough” and some even “risky”, in its true sense, a soldier’s life is a collection of all three. A soldier’s life is patriotic, because, he/she is overwhelmed with the thought of protecting the motherland, even at the cost of his/her own life; though, as they have to stay away from family and friends for months, that too in some of the most arduous conditions; risky because they secure our borders and are under constant threat from infiltrators and terror outfits.

A soldier, apart from routine posting assignments, takes part in relief operations as well. In fact, when the situation slips out of control of local authorities, soldiers are the ones who are called first. Soldiers are well-trained and equipped with vital equipment and the mental strength to deal with any natural or manmade disaster. Despite facing tough terrains and risking their lives, they have a more meaningful existence.

The soldiers are the pride of a nation. They are disciplined, courageous and selfless. Their life is full of challenges and they face each challenge with a smile on their face. Anyone who chooses to be a soldier is indeed a noble soul.

The person who loves his country and countrymen and is willing to go to any extent to protect them and save their honour. Soldiers do not care about their personal life or desires. Their country comes first for them. Those who decide to get into this profession are well aware of the fact that they will have to sacrifice their personal life and stay away from their families for the most part of their lives. However, this does not dither their spirit to serve the country. They gladly take up this job and work diligently day and night.

The soldiers are trained for years before they are sent to the war front. The training period is extremely tough. It brings out the best in them and prepares them for the battleground. The training camps help the soldiers to build physical strength. A soldier who is dedicated to serving his country continuously trains himself to stay physically fit so as to do his best on the field.?

conclusion

We are proud of our soldiers and are grateful to them for ensuring a peaceful environment. We respect them with all our hearts and salute them for their heroic acts. They are the true heroes. The life of soldier is full of challenges. However, they do their best to overcome all the challenges and take it as their responsibility to guard their country and countrymen. They fulfil their responsibility with a smile on their faces. Their sole motto in the order of priority remains “Country, Honour, Home”. Jai Bharat.
