When one is growing up he or she has fantasies of whatever he or she will become later in life. Some choose to be teachers, doctors, engineers, lawyers and so on. That was exactly what Selena wanted her son to choose from those varieties of courses and or career but the reverse was the case.

Dwayne the only son of Selena instead of choosing to o become a Doctor, lawyer or an engineer decided to become a soldier. The father protested over that lifestyle choice but there was what she wants.

Sometimes we don't get what we yearn for in life for our children and ward. That was the case of Selena here. But she was right afterall. As the only son he does not need to belong to such an outfit. Reluctantly she was recruited into the army..

In his few days in service he was posted to fight the advancing terrorists in his country. Inadequate bullets and equipment were given to them. The insurgents overpower them. Dwayne became history till date.

I lost a brother in war, when the next brother came of age, my Dad had him go into the forest service so he would not be drafted.
