"Soldiers We Fight When We are Told to Fight, Die When We Are Told To Die' - CDF Muhoozi

In a statement that has caught the attention of many, General David Muhoozi, the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) of Uganda, shared a powerful message about the role of soldiers in the Ugandan People’s Defence Forces (UPDF).

Speaking with pride and conviction, he emphasized the dedication and discipline of the soldiers who serve in the country's military.

"SOLDIERS, WE CHOSE NOTHING...WE DO WHAT WE ARE TOLD, WE FIGHT WHEN WE ARE TOLD TO FIGHT, WE DIE WHEN WE ARE TOLD TO DIE!"

These words, spoken by General Muhoozi, resonate deeply with the ethos of the UPDF and military service in general.

The General's message serves as a reminder of the selflessness and sacrifice that soldiers make as they follow orders to protect their country, regardless of the risks involved.

The UPDF is known for its strong sense of unity and commitment to the nation.

General Muhoozi's statement highlights the sense of duty that soldiers feel, even when faced with difficult and dangerous tasks.

Soldiers are not expected to make personal choices about when to fight or when to lay down their lives; instead, they are bound by the orders they receive and the higher purpose of serving their country.

These words also highlight the unique role that soldiers play in the defense of Uganda’s sovereignty and security.

As the General said, they are ready to sacrifice everything, including their lives, for the greater good of the nation.

Such a mindset is what makes the UPDF a formidable force in Africa, and their dedication is praised by many across the continent.

"God bless the mighty UPDF!"
