'Let him inspire us'

The title Wira Negara seems easy to obtained nowadays. Be a civilian press in a war zone and then get killed. Thus, the government deemed you as a national hero. What if, the soldier died instead of the cameraman? Would he get the media coverage such as the cameraman? Come to think of it, perhaps one in a thousand chance.

Like recently, the issue with the civilian cameraman. Why is he in that war zone? Does he have any basic warfare survival training? The highlights on his death seems overwhelming from all the mass media. He has been deemed as a national hero for joining the humanitarian aid at Somalia. I agreed for his good intention, but he is not to be blame for his death. Yes, the media deemed him to be national hero, but to think of it, there many good soldiers died countless at the Somalia war zone. Our soldiers. Do they receive the same salutation?

They are many officers, but few good officers.

In positive feedback, we should see the political aspect of the cameraman's death. Our political parties should be minimal in their campaigns. We can't afford to have another Somalia war zone in our own country due to political instability. The peace we obtained cannot be kept by force, it must be kept through understanding one another. The pacifism is the key for peace and stability.

Mutual understanding. Yes, in a good way, his death open our eyes to the war-thorn country such as Somalia. The fight for power really affect our peace and harmony. He did inspire us spiritually.

P/S: Basic warfare survival is a must to cover for war zone updates to avoid unnecessary casualties.
