If one day my beloved country, Indonesia, returns to war with another country and I have been assigned to fight on the front lines due to military service, with full sincerity and love for my homeland Indonesia, I would be more willing to fight on the front lines and leave my family behind.
My reason is simple, apart from loving my country so that it is not colonized by other countries, I also fight in order to make my family feel happy in the future. Because if I become a coward and don't want to fight, then it will be the same as letting the invaders destroy my own country and later my family will also be colonized.
In fact, it's not just my family now that will feel colonized, my children and grandchildren will also feel colonized by an enemy country if I don't want to fight it.
Because I really believe that if I die defending my homeland, then I will die happily and be remembered by everyone, but if while fighting I become a coward because I don't want to fight, one day I will definitely die and my death will definitely used as a symbol of the death of a coward.
In fact, I am sure that my family will also call me a coward if I don't want to defend my country. With my pride as a strong man, I am willing to fight for my beloved country.
Even if I die on the battlefield, my death will definitely bring smiles to my family because they are proud of me for being willing to die to uphold the sovereignty of their country.
