People who are delusion about the public not caring about our soldiers need a wakeup call.
Every third sms mentions them.. every person who is spoken to mourns them.
At the same time.. every person who has to wait for 15 minutes in traffic when the chief leaves his home or comes back feels cheated and disillusioned.. because when we feel like kissing the hands of those who gave their lives for us..our angst against the inadvertent daily suffering for protecting a few men acts against it.
And this is not limited to the military..
people have come to hate all figures of authority in this country.. from politicians... to IG's.. CM's, PM ,CNS and the president.
Because these people are visible in the news.. visible at some point in our lives living it off like kings while the rest of us brave the heat in traffic and honk away.
I think ill be unrealistic to expect these were from his own coffers..
but a smart political move nonetheless.. sad that it has to be played when it comes to a depressing event such as this.
