Dear Friends,
Military forces around the world sport olive Green as their uniform and the reasons for sporting the color is known. If you have gone through the headlines today and the tables showing the defense expenditure of different countries your faith on this humanity would slowly vanish. Every nations preaches peace and breaches the same with much ease. The country claiming to be a 'peace land' has lost more humans in the seven decades than we lost in the nuclear holocaust or in WW II.

The submarines with nuclear powers and air crafts with the speed of sound and more deafen the years and blinding the focus of man. Our military men, their vehicles, their guns and their shelters- everything green; only their aim is red.
