A Hero in Combat

Through the hottest heat of the sun, till the coldest breeze of the night, a soldier travels in combat as they pledge their lives to our country.
They fight with brevity and integrity for us. As I look at them, I thought that they have no heart as they killed their enemies. Are soldiers bad? As the commandment says, “thou shall not kill”.
But being a soldier is not an easy task. They offered their lives to our country in the field. By spending sleepless nights, bringing their heavy weapon and bullets, in full armor gear. While walking in the forest, with grassy and muddy way. They go in combat with rumbled feelings. Will they succeed? Or… will they be alive? Can they go home with a cheerful smile and hold their love ones into their arms?
As they are marching with their troupes, on battle, they bring with them their prayers, and without even thinking of what will happen to them after the war.
Every bullet shot to their foe is equivalent to a prayer. Their enemies are also human. Just imagine their lives! They do not know who will fall down in every struck by a bullet. But every opponent falls, a tear rolls down into their cheeks as they mumble their prayer. Still pity burst forth from their good hearts, without surrendering, they still continue their quandary.
In combat, had felt all the pain, and grief and even hunger and thirst, but they did not complain, and still continue their job.

A tear falls down into my cheeks and my heart crumpled in pain as I saw an old soldier serving the country, bringing his heavy weapon into the war. I felt so much compassion in him. Just imagine he does all this things to serve his country, just to give food for his family, and even spending his precious life for our country.
They are our living heroes! They save our country from intense violence. Sometimes we have our negative impression towards them, maybe because there are those who abuse their power. But this man in uniform are working hard to gain peace, so that our dream for peaceful country will dwell.
They are our martyr living heroes, in our hearts, in our mind and in our soul.
