A nation needs some saviours. It has to be guarded to save its frontiers. Army is a very important defence force for any country with land borders. In our case, we have several neighbours. The problems with neighbours are too well known. The army has saved our nation in various conflicts with neighbours. The men in army work under most difficult conditions. Indian Army has come from behind and has done excellent service to the nation even in respect of law and order matters. The facts, regarding army, most liked by one and all are absolute discipline, dedication and readiness to sacrifice oneself. Army has immensely helped the people during devastating floods, earthquake and other natural calamities. A small facet of army that seems to have caused doubts in the minds of the people is the rights of army personnel. Civilians get many opportunities of self-defence while army men appear to have been denied of some of them. My father was an ex-serviceman and many of his and my friends were too. The way they conducted themselves in public is very highly appreciable. I personally feel that every youth should serve in army for at least two to three years to learn disciplined way of life. Nation above self - is this not apt about our army. The armed forces and their family need much better respect and consideration for the sacrifice they are making to let us live in peace.
