An earlier Naval Chief is sacked , the COAS just escapes being sacked .Top secret Air Force documents are leaked from the MoD.The Army Chiefs letter to the Defence Minister/MoD is found printed in leading papers and magazines.We have a Defence Secretary who is suspicious of the Military and along with South Block Babu’s and the ‘Highest Authority’ wants to know the details of the coup in offing. We have a MoD which has nothing to do with the Armed Forces of the Country except to be-little the Service HQ’s and its Chiefs. I would like to add two things here.First lets see where the fault lines lie. Why is all this happening?? Without adding any comments, the famous case of Gen Billy Mitchel comes to my mind. You judge wherein lies the rot.The statement of Gen Billy Mitchel is reproduced here- “I have been asked from all parts of the country to give my opinion about the reasons for the frightful aeronautical accidents and loss of life, equipment and treasure that has occurred during the last few days.This statement therefore is given out publicly by me after mature deliberation and after a sufficient time has elapsed since the terrible accident to our naval aircraft, to find out something about what happened, my opinion is as follows:These accidents are the direct result of the incompetency, criminal negligence and almost treasonable administration of the national defense by the Navy and War Departments.The bodies of my former companions of the air molder under the soil in America and Asia, Europe and Africa, many, yes, a great many, sent there directly by official stupidity.” And this is what the Navy Department had said of Gen Billy Mitchel , prior to his Court Martial for taking on the War Department ( They call it it the MoD in India)—- “It is recommended and requested that Brigadier General William Mitchell be relieved of duty as Assistant Chief of the Air Service. He has given serious offense to the Navy Department by his public utterances and publicity. He has enhanced his own prestige at the expense of and to the detriment of the prestige of his immediate commanding officer. This publicity, if not carried on by him personally, is at least known to him and subject to his control”.<br />And this is what Gen (Sir) John Hackett , erstwhile CIGS British Army once said—- ’’Much has been made of the moral decline in our society. Are your values hermetically sealed in a vacuum, or do you share them with your community? If a strong nation and a strong military requires people of integrity, then where will those people come from if we don’t help build them? “When a country looks at its fighting forces it is looking in a mirror: if the mirror is a true one the face that it sees will be its own.” Thank God there is hope , for we still have men of Honour in our Country.You are answerable to not only your superiors but your compatriots and also your sub-ordinates , who judge you every day and decide whether or not you deserve a salute and whether they will follow you in battle. Most of all, the one profession where your Character and Morals are judged every day , every minute— is the Military. National character , Pride , Honesty and Probity: they count here. And where are the Babu’s and the Ministers hiding now?? Now coming on to the next part.This nonsense of the previous COAS , being involved in some sort of coup attempt--- --- Further reading on--http://tonysarao.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/of-media-mice-and-the-retards-of-raisina-hill/Tony Saraohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04081768324485723984noreply@blogger.com
