i don't care about wars and their reasons, i think whatever they are, they are still stupid . all i care about are the soldiers, and right now "the Saudi soldiers". unfortunately, i don't know the exact numbers of the ones that has been killed or their names, i am trying to know but can not find the right information and i know it's not easy to get them from the Saudi newspaper cuz they are used on secrecy and being hush hush about everything ,let alone war information.
Islam says that those who die fighting for their countries are martyrs, but it's not about labeling, it's about young lives cut short, families' pains and sufferings of losing lost ones, children growing up without their fathers, parents who have to bury their sons. i know that the government will take care of their families but nothing will bring loved ones. i keep wondering if they are scared of being there, missing their loved ones, thinking that this might be their last day, cursing the day they decided to join the army, wanting to just be normal guys.
some say it's not a big war , so why is it still on?
there are no excuses for wars or lost souls, but maybe knowing that they die for their country worth it ? inshallah .
May Allah bless their souls and send blessing and comfort to their loved ones
now why does not the government built a Memorial for them with their names on it. they die for their country , didn't they ?
p.s: if anyone knows the names of the dead Saudi soldiers, plz forward them. this is first name i got :-

Agreed. My thoughts are for the soldiers and their families. What makes me really upset is the casual and callous way those in power always send OTHER people's children to fight and die.
BalasHapusWhat a sweet and thoughtful post.
BalasHapusOf course they will feel scared but if they are true hero, they will never regret :) Babe you are just so sweet! God bless you too :)

BalasHapusoh don't let start on people on power, it makes me so angry and frustrated, and it's the same everywhere.
Susanne, that's the least i can do for the soldiers :)
C, i believe that , too. thanx a lot sweetie and that's the least i can do for them :)
Thanks Muse.
BalasHapus"There are no excuses for wars or lost souls."
I can not agree more.
And btw, Lao-Tzu, the great philosopher of Taoism, said something like that several centuries ago.
May the souls of those who lost their lives for their country rest in peace.
Amen.
Prometheus, You are welcome , the least we can do for our brothers out there :)
BalasHapusMay the sould of those who lost their lives for their country rest in peace , Ameen

BalasHapusangie, at the southern borders of saudi arbia with yemen, there is a war-which some don't prefer calling it that- with the rebels -7otheen-from yemen and many saudi soldiers have died since it started almost a month ago.
