OUR GENERALS

I took a keen interest and followed as to what was happening between the General and the govt. Finally you know what happened. Recently, I also saw a video talk between Barkha - Gen Carduzo (I admire) - Gen Oberoi ( I know). Some pressure within me asks me to put my suggesstions to all the senior officers. And wish they could reply!

Why are these generals taking up cases where they themselves are involved? Why not take up cases in which others are involved without personal gains?

Gen carduzo makes a point "Where is the enemy?". Since training days we guarded the rear from where the DS would come in, those were young days jokes. So where is the enemy? General search the oirganization and you shall find enemies within!

Why did the General not take up a case when the choice was between chief-ship and age? Where was honour and integrity then. Was he coerced? Did he do it under duress? Was he playing games? A true soldier does not play games.

Now it's Gen Oberoi, with regards, great Generals! But wants everything for themselves.
Once I had suggested " Two way reporting" in a forum. The reaction by the Generals & Brigadoers was furious! Do we have the courage to take feedbacks and rectify whats going wrong within the organisation to save this lovely place from just becoming a money earning machine?

The real picture emerges when the uniform is off!
Do we have the guts to permit the media to enter the fold of officers and take interviews?
How many generals can boast their achievements and accept feedback in open forums? Leadership is easy with the stars and emblems! Only wars can sort things out but the cost would be heavy!!

Everytime I have to answer questions on the behaviour of the army, I pray. But people in civies still have great respect for the uniform, please dont tarnish it further. LOOK WITHIN. Live like a soldier not served by soldiers!
