Etched in my memory from time immemorial as an Army brat - you never ask an army man about his religion - you ask him about his regiment. — Zubin Kabraji (@ZuKabby) February 7, 2018

Politicos please learn something from this patriotic Colonel of Special Forces. This is the ethos of the army. Stop being petty. Nation first always and everytime.
