While we sleep peacefully at home, thousands of soldiers remain awake in some of the country's toughest regions, protecting a life most of us take for granted. The recent Ladakh incident sparked outrage after a tourist, frustrated by a security-related delay, questioned why personnel were paid with taxpayers' money and reportedly dismissed the situation as “nonsense.” The Army later clarified that the confrontation was at a police checkpoint. Questioning authority is a right. Disrespecting those serving the country is not. Our taxes may fund their salaries, but they can never buy the courage and sacrifice behind that uniform. We sleep peacefully because someone else stays awake.
