"I commend you for putting patriotism above politics, consistently showing support for our Military's work and sharing uplifting news about their achievements. Your commitment to the greater good is truly admirable!"

Linus Lincoln urged the military to sustain the killings of bandit leaders. He said:

"The military's efforts to combat terrorism must be comprehensive and sustained. It's not enough to simply target and kill the leaders of terrorist groups; they must also track down and capture deserters to prevent them from reorganizing and perpetuating further violence. Only through a thorough and relentless approach can we achieve total cleansing and put an end to terrorism once and for all."

"Accolades to our courageous military men! Your recognition of our indefatigable Chief of Defence Staff's efforts is truly appreciated."
