Mudy: A little ungrateful towards folks who have been willing to lay their life on the line. The general today, was an officer in the 80's. Why single out army generals, when the rot is systemic. If we go this way, there will be no one left to trust. JMT.

With seniority, comes lethargy and self interest. They only look for promotions, so that they can have cozy post retirement jobs. What happened during Kargil was despicable? They kept politicians in dark. During Kargil war, George Fernandes was doing shopping for ammunition. They always blame politicians but these Generals are involved in purchasing, procurement etc, give them bribe and they will provide fighting force with defective guns, useless bullet proof jackets and useless winter clothes. Not much had changed since 1962 debacle. Have you given thought after MMS US visit; suddenly Indian Govt. is buying guns from US without bid and any testing? 4 years back, so many officers were caught taking bribes, it is still on, only difference between now and then, journalists or Tehalka guys along with Babus are getting their shares to look other side. I think we should not kid ourselves, but work towards exposing them.
