A lion is born knowing how to hunt, but has to learn how to hunt well.

The soldier is in the Army. No army is better than its soldiers. The Soldier is also a citizen. In fact, the highest obligation and privilege of citizenship is that of bearing arms for one’s country ………….General George S. Patton said this!

-A lion is born knowing how to hunt, but has to learn how to hunt well.

-This is another one, ‘a cavalryman’s horse should be smarter than he is. But the horse must never be alowed to know this.’

-Yet another one, ‘he laughed outright, a grim, calculating gesture as hard! I asked him Kancha why are you laughing! The reply was in a typical Gurkha style, ‘ unfeeling as cold steel. There is something brittle in me that will break before it bends. Perhaps if the [the enemy] had brought a smaller army I might have had the sense to run. But he overdid it. We will beat them’! And we did!

The final one from none other than George. Patton…It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier … [with] discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability.”

-The most dangerous people in the world are not the tiny minority instigating evil acts, but those who do the acts for them. For example, when the British invaded India, many Indians accepted to work for the British to kill off Indians who resisted their occupation. So in other words, many Indians were hired to kill other Indians on behalf of the enemy for a paycheck. Today, we have mercenaries in Africa, corporate armies from the western world, and unemployed men throughout the Middle East killing their own people – and people of other nations – for a paycheck. To act without a conscience, but for a paycheck, makes anyone a dangerous animal. The devil would be powerless if he couldn’t entice people to do his work. So as long as money continues to seduce the hungry, the hopeless, the broken, the greedy, and the needy, there will always be war between brothers. A soldier does not think this way! That is what the Indian Army teaches to young kids!

-This is clearly depicted in the picture with the story!

-A wise bird does not lend even the smallest of its feathers to a hunter.“The World comes

-Like a lover, courting. But a seeker only sees a hunter, circling its prey.

I have a story to tell here! She was a little girl Aysha when she first saw me! She thought I was different from others! I was just on an errand to Kuliyan (a village next to my home but now a busy bee market) and she asked me, ‘Are you in Army’? since the kid was small, my answer was smaller, Once upon a time I was little Red riding hood’! hr mom interrupted, ‘Yeh Bhi Army mein Jaana Chahti Hai’! My answer was in two words, ‘Study First’! I thought I was rude but the kid grew up! One day (Saturday since it is a holiday for me), years later, she asked, ‘Uncle will you train me, I want to join the Indian army’! ‘I will but do not become like me’! ‘But you are different to others’ was her immediate response! My reply was being different means you have to pay a price! I trained him for a month! she did what I had told her and today she is in Officers Training Academy!

On a mid term break she did visit our house and the first question she asked was ,’is uncle at home’! My mom called me and there she stood with a box! In it were an OG Green T-shirt and a cap! This will make a difference to others! I know what it is to look different, lazy, elegant and as sharp as a tigress……….Thank you very much and I handed over to her two five hundred Rupees notes………. I do not want a reward…..she said! I told her camouflaged T-shirts suit you……They will make you different! Indian Army Zindabad!
