( ie 2023 ) when he joined the army , makes me really rethink all the desicions i took , does money really matter , does iit badge really matter , after all , we all die at the end and dying a honorable death is far greater than dying to some disease. I will make sure that any desicions i take in my future will lead me to the path of becoming an army man . Grenadier nimba ram’s nerve and guts really make me proud and although i am sad he dosent live with us now he will remain as an inspiration to thousands of youth in the coming future like me .
