Hungary’s soldiers have proven that they have an understanding of more than just weapons, Defence Minister Tibor BenkÅ‘ said at the inauguration ceremony of non-commissioned officers of the armed forces on Saturday.
Â
BenkÅ‘ told the 373 officers taking their oath of office on Budapest’s Heroes’ Square that besides having the skill to handle weapons, they also needed to be ready to handle disasters like the coronavirus pandemic. “The soldiers have proven that the Hungarian Armed Forces
can be counted on to handle any kind of problem anywhere and at any time,”
Benkő said.
The minister thanked the parents of the new NCOs for “raising their children to dedicate their lives to the service of the country” and to make the sacrifices and take on the trials that come with it. He

encouraged the officers to do everything they can to be the best they can be and to set an example
to the entire country.
“It’s clear that the security environment in the region and the world is extremely fragile,” Benko said, adding that this was why the government considered it crucial to have a competent, committed, well-trained and well-equipped military. Â

Zsolt Sándor, deputy commander of the armed forces, said at the ceremony that
being a non-commissioned officer was not a job but a calling.
He said NCOs were the bridge between the army’s commissioned officers and its rank-and-file. They play a key role in leading subunits and handling complex equipment, he added. Sándor praised the role the new graduates had played in Hungary’s response to the pandemic over the past year, adding that they had “many similar challenges” ahead of them.

The reason the security environment of the world is extremely fragile can be summed up with the name of the nation causing the fragility. The USA and its puppets in the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization and their goal of starting another World War with Russia being the target. Russia is NOT the bad guy, it is the aggression of the US military industrial complex behind the tension and Hungary and all members of NATO would do well to tell the bullyocracy The USA your not taking part in their agression. The USA is going to lose WW3 and being a member of their team will not end well for their team mates. Did you not learn your lesson after the past 2 world wars were Hungary chose the wrong team? Hungary would do well to become a neutral country. Hungary should have a strong military but only to be used for defensive purposes like The Swiss.
HUNGARY WAKE UP before it is too late.
