Border soldiers are killed

When our army persons are killed in the border, we are most distressed. The infighting among the inefficient political elite is clearly seen in the number of persons killed. While we talk about good diplomacy and trade with our neighbors, our army is being slaughtered. We are fooling ourselves by thinking "all is well" and that we are having good relations with our neighbors. Five of our soldiers were killed in the Western borders, and the sixth one survived to tell the story. If this goes on, they must know that there is a limit to our tolerance. We do have good ammunition and large army personnel. We really do not want to deploy them as we are a peaceful nation and would not consider war as an option to settle disputes. But these are trying times, we cannot stand dishonor of encroachment at our borders. We are taking so much effort to make peace with this hostile neighbor, nothing seems to work. Already we have 43 different bills to pass in this session of Parliament (monsoon session) And now we have to worry about the hostility at our borders. Internal issues have to be attended before we can divert our attention to external threats.
