killed or martyred
by Navin Gulia on Jun 13, 2007 08:05 AM

Pakistan TV says. 3 indian soldiers butchered and 5 fighters achieved martyrdom.

Why does indian media treat soldiers as killed (as if they died in some drunken driving bash)

Secondly the media takes the name of soldiers and terrorists in same breath "5 terrorists 3 soldiers killed"

why cant we use the word 'martyred' for our soldiers. Dying fighting with a salay of rs 5000-6000 only to send back home. A family that is dependent on them. Kids who wait for their father to come back home. I think a soldier deserves more respect than just being reffered to as 'killed'
