Dear all,
I use to think where we stand in terms of military capability but once seeing this website,
I am nowhere feeling great at all but feelings proud for our country army mens.The army career is not able to give proper or ensure a clear career, for the military mens.There is no bright career after they finish their civil service,unlike where as in US, one stands for president election at the age of 71.A Army men can strive to become a president of the country.
Shall Is it possible in India.Even in our neighbour state Pakistan,an Army general is a president. I urging here what the goverment of india can provide for the patriotism of the fellow country army men.
In USA,Once the Patriotism of Obama is questioned,he hits back very strongly not to doubt even a pinch of the Opponent(Mccain - War Veteran) Patriotism and warned his fellow party men on this issue not to moke or review a War Prisoner Mccain in any terms of partriotism,as it cannot be doubted at all.He took on his stride,played very good by not degrading the army men service as a war veterman & cleverly he too managed to show of his partriotism as a politician by asking "Is partriotism is only holding the gun or guarding the borders".Such Much respect they both politicians & non polticians(all type of People)have for their country army men's & women's too.
Though,we dont spend much for the military,but in humantarian terms too,they are far exceeding,I feel so :(.
A Lot has to change guys.
It is a nice site,which details the soldiers died in Afghanistan and Iraq War. Do Check to it.Such a nice piece of work to collect the details of the died dear ones in the battle & getting a statistics out of it.Total Awesome.

I hope,we were not even near a margin of 1 out of 100,even in the caring of our soldiers by the Indian army or by we people in terms of respect or courtesy,I wonder.
Well,all this show me,there is no surprise,many soldiers are opting for earlier retirement nor the youth are interested in the army.What kinda of the career graph,the goverment of india can provide for a army person.I dont wanna talk about the other aspects of it but is there anything,a soldier from indian army can still try to pursure his career beyond an army.
Hope you got what i am trying to ask.It is politics.Do they or Dont they deserve a better place in the goverment machine apart from bank jobs or the bullshit ones :). Well,Certain become entreprenuers like Air Deccan Chief G. R. Gopinath or DLF Chief Kushal Pal Singh define their own careers but what about other military general or soldiers who toiled in the borders fighting against all odds in the battle ground,dont we responsible for their future or career.
What as a citizen of india,as a youth of india representing the major population,dont one should think,the entire practice or process as to change?.Just Increasing the mere salary CTC of the soldiers,will it be fruitful or answerable to the former question.The Goverment should care about his fellow army men,do they ?.As a citizen of india,do we care about our army men?.
Can anyone point out what we did as such moving a single stone for him/her as like.
In US ,War Against Terror as Quoted by the president of USA Mr.Bush,took a toll & still around 4000+ but In India,to recover our own land ladakh occupied illegally or infiltrated by the fellow neighbour country armymen or militants (Oops not able to differentiate :)),
we fought the kargil war in 2001 (though the actual reason is different :P) where the war in kargil took a toll of more than 1000+ though officially confirmed.Where are we?.
Hope I can be able to make sense, on this regard, after you too see the above mentioned site,where how they (US People) remember them (US War Veterans).The awareness level about the war veterans is much more higher for their people than us for sure.
Do you or me know anyone of them from kargil or the much hyped Bangladesh War?.
Where the mistake cant be pointed out?.
Media running behind a**es of the sportsmen or Cinema or Politicians :) can be pointed out.
But Media only can rectify out & make every soldiers familymen to feel proud equivalent to
getting a olympic medal (gold medal later :)).I meant not for heroes of the war but for all soldiers of the army.
Is winning a sportsgame is more partriotic than winning the war for the country?.
I am not saying dont do that like appreciating a sportsman or bollywood or politician but
why not differentiate & weigh people actions and judge appropriately in case of our beloved soldiers too.
Hope I feel this is the best solution to rectify our mistakes as a person but
as a society,only Indian media's can answer.
Comment on pls.
