Because the government announces only some money as a compensation. Because the press makes much hue and cry for some days only as a story. Because the civilians can only shed a few tears before finally moving over. Because I don't want my mother to cry over my mutilated corpse one day. Because I don't even want my father to stand numbed over my dead body. Because I don't ever want an angel - my angel to cry over my lifeless body. Because I don't want to come back mangled remains & cause them winch. Because I don't want to come back ever with a conscience guilty of killing. Because I don't want to come back hands filled of instrumental blood ever. Not at all like that because I fear the bullets searing my soldier's body in life. Not at all like that because I fear bombs blasting up my body organs away. Not at all like that because I fear ******* enemies ambushing me from rear. Not at all like that because I have a soft heart or that I can't shoot my target. Not at all like that because I have a sympathetic stand towards the enemies. Not at all like that because I have a low level of love for our national virtues. Not at all like that because I don't want my friends to ever lament upon me. Not at all like that because I don't want my future children to get to know it. Not at all like that because I don't want my fresh hobbies stay unrecognized. Not to mention how all of the civilians and the press make much hue & cry. Not to mention how all the topics they choose are only useless T.R.P.-based. Not to mention how all of the time the soldiers spend under such conditions.

The Reasons I Don't Want To Be A Soldier
