Your concern is touching, but no one gives a flying ..... what you call it, there will always be plenty of us to defend it. With your birth rate below replacement and ours pretty healthy, there will be twice as many of us as you(and much younger too)

They must of shot down a few Chinese F16's before crashing, just waiting for
confirmation from Indian media.
