They are present only to guarantee the nation is safe so that every one of us can sleep soundly under the blanket of safety at night, knowing we have protectors at the door.
They deserve our thanks for keeping the autonomy of the motherland unharmed. Exceedingly viewed in the world, the PAK army is a scene of national pride and unity.
