This is a sad event. I never like to see the end of such an honorable era and brotherhood.

I'd also like to celebrate the honor these men are showing by submitting to the civilian leadership. This one special characteristic is what makes the militaries of our nations such an awesome weapon. In any muslim nation this would be a catalyst to a coup or rebelion. Our warriors have pledged an oath to the common welfare and even in this situation, maintain that oath.

I mourn with you brothers, but I commend you on your heritage which will not be forgotten and lost from us.
