enigma947: “”Can you see how the heart of a soldier beats when he listen on radio people chanting and laughing on the Eid day and he is sitting at a post 20000 M above your homes, inside a bunker with minus 50 degrees of temperature around him.”” Probably you mean 20,000 feet not 20,000...

enigma947: “” Many of the Army Officers (to include Officers of other services) are "chosen". By this i mean they are selected through a very tough process.”” The word “chosen” is bordering on comedy! Be serious please. Yes, the armed forces have a pretty stringent selection process. It...
