I think there is need to review many such grey areas beside breed of officer growing selfish at the cost of soldiers interest.HARDEVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861050958722102031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660791779547883173.post-5170257703570725792016-08-11T08:12:13.957+05:302016-08-11T08:12:13.957+05:30A no holds barred fantastic article.

Govt doesn't & cannot exist without AF.<br />As a part , they have to participate . They cannot remain passive and later blame babus and political leadership .Top brass have to be assertive ( on matters of national importance , Not on individual or personal as some DOB issue )<br />There are adequate constitutional provisions .<br />Further ,there are matters of national importance that are not clearly enunciated in the constitution when it was conceived at pre & post independence times , 1947 -1950 .<br />Evolving democracies & military have to be dynamic.<br />balahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915831413555890997noreply@blogger.com
