You shall reap what you sow.
I was a 16 year old boy when I first got access to the internet. One of the very first things I searched for was the Pakistan army and I came across the old pakistanidefenceforum. It used to be hosted on ezboard back then. More than two decades later, I spent some time almost every day on defence forums, discussing news, discussing politics, discussing our armed forces. We talked through scenarios, we debates pros and cons, we vehemently defended even the undefendable, doing all sorts of mental gymnastics - knowing always that whatever our armed forces did, was in the best interest of our country.
When social media became a thing people like you and me were at the forefront of defending our nation and particularly our armed forces. When externally funded trolls and journalists and bot armies were busy trolling and writing propaganda pieces against the armed forces, invidiuals like us spent our time taking them apart, defending Pakistan, defending our armed forces. We did so out of a sense of duty, we did so because of love and we did so feeling honour that we could do a teeny tiny thing to help our Boys.
We will continue to do so, and if the day comes, if it is required - we'll bleed and die next to them on the battlefield too.
However they must introspect. How have they come to this point? How are those people who dedicated their lives to supporting you, suddenly worthy of meetings to be discussed as threats? How does a man who faces death on the battlefield for the sake of his nation, ultimately also become a man who gives an NRO?
