define : bulwark, cache, callous

bulwark - n. something used as a defense, a strong protection

The 1986 Philippine Edsa Revolution showed the Filipino people's courage, they used their bodies as bulwarks against the army's invading tanks.

cache - n (cash) a hiding place, something hidden in a secret place

The dictators then thought that there was a money cache somewhere funding this rally.
