Losing Soldiers

They won battles for their nations
But lots of them failed in their personal lives
They are really brave people
But why they lose in their real battle ?

Is it the training that given to them ?
Why don't we train them to be people
War is not the essential part
We can live in peace if we want to be

Don't train anyone to fight or attack
Give them lessons of self defense
No more hate lessons to soldiers
Teach them to love and protect

When they come from battle field
They will find someone to love 
They will protect them at any rate
If they ever learned human feelings

Girls love them as great patriots
But they fear to marry them
That fear should go away
Soldiers should do something for that
