So what does that mean? You quietly sit and let the all powerful bureaucracy and politicians do what they want? I thought people fought for right and wrong, and not to be seen only in winning situations. Today you see VK as a man who has lost the battle, so like so often in our history, you quickly join the other side. <br /><a href="http://www.mmokaufen.com/" rel="nofollow"><strong>WOW Gold Kaufen</strong></a><br><br /><a href="http://www.mmokaufen.com/" rel="nofollow"><strong>World of Warcraft Gold</strong></a><br>WOW Goldhttp://www.mmokaufen.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-43267266783299188542012-09-03T10:24:28.804-07:002012-09-03T10:24:28.804-07:00We have to thank our politicians, at least they al...We have to thank our politicians, at least they allowed The Gallant Gen to go peacefully.

But at the same time, I feel that an outright dismissal of the arguments put forward by Col. Shukla will be trying not to see things as a complete whole.<br /><br />It is repelling to see the amount of vitriol being spewed in the comments section - most of it anonymously.<br /><br />While I hold no brief for Col. Shukla or anyone else, it is anybody's reckoning how many of these anonymous commentators are men in uniform.<br /><br />There are uncanny similarities between the people making personal attacks on the Colonel or anyone else, with the Hindutva nuts who troll around right wing blogs and heap any dissent with standard epithets of Congressi, Commie, yada, yada. Both are incapable of independent thinking and have nothing to contribute in terms of a constructive debate.<br /><br />Notwithstanding the almost everyday news of rot in the armed forces - and I hope I speak for all level-headed, well-meaning civvies - we hope that this is just an aberration and is not a sign of declining OLQ (Officer Like Qualities) in the men belonging to that last institution of independent India which is worthy of some respect and sense of pride.Rajarshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949837409466343426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-90688478945617246432012-06-04T21:42:07.031-07:002012-06-04T21:42:07.031-07:00So just before V.K.

Singh why not 6 months before, why not 3 months before , why not 2 months before, why not 1 month before.<br /><br />Shukla goes on to comment about V.K. Singh "This man is going to enter politics." Why is it a crime to enter politics for retired army personnel? Is Jaswant Singh of BJP wrong to join politics.<br /><br />Isn't it a personal choice for retired army personnel to join whereever they want. I'm accusing Shukla of joining the journalism for personal benefits, so he gets invited by american companies to US visit and pitching in F 35 for MMRCA.<br /><br />Amazing neither jj singh nor deepak kapoor exposed any scam in arms acquisition, in fact they are suspect in scams but V.K. Singh even after exposing Sukhna, Adarsh (where now govt. has lost 4 files out of 16 files of the scam, an incident totally ignored by journalists like shukla) & Tatra deal is being accused like anything by media.<br /><br />Suhag goes to media with 'show cause notice' but no crticism against him.<br /><br />If there are accusations of Rajput lobby, then there are accusations of manmohan singh's wife gursharan kaur being cousin sister of bikram singh's wife, made by 'Chauthi Duniya' channel, what about that? Either ignore both, or mention both.<br /><br />Now shukla has a blog to run and true to this saying "blow with the wind" he needs army connection and bikram singh at helm this will be a problem, hence attack on vk singh to earn brownie points with bikram singh.<br /><br />Shukla being a journalist would you be bothered to investigate how french newspaper Le Monde had written 1 year before manmohan singh became the finance minister "No matter who comes to power in next govt. World Bank has decided to make Manmohan Singh the next finance minister."<br /><br />Odd isn't it that Sonia Gandhi gives to false affidavits in court about her education, both a proven false and Supreme court judge says to subramaniam swamy: "Mr. Swamy be generous, these are old matters leave them." Ha ha while vk singh is ousted by false birthdate.<br /><br />Special note to poster RTU: Mushy was artillery man, not a commando though he headed commando unit later, but originally he was artillery man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-1891395344217136922012-06-04T12:11:22.043-07:002012-06-04T12:11:22.043-07:00>> Most of you guys are NRIs, will never ret...>> <i>Most of you guys are NRIs, will never return to India, so who's bothered about your hatred for BR Forum, support for Congress because for all practical purposes you guys are not Indians but foreigners and dont contribute to Indian growth or solve its problems.</i><br /><br />LMAO... this one takes the cake.

Blogs are meant to express what the blog owner desires to. He can also choose to exclude any contrarian opinions or views. That is the nature of the blogosphere.<br /><br />But, having acknowledged that, what would distorting the events of the past few months achieve? Every one knows, there are camps within the organisation and these hold radically opposite views. So it is not very difficult to guess which 'side' a blogger or a commentator is on.<br /><br />I do think, however, that the only counter to the decades long unabashed in'transigence and insensitivity to the cadre in uniform was the display of resolute firmness while sticking to the norms that we were all privileged to witness. One can salute that, silently acknowledge it or be outright churlish and unappreciative.<br /><br />The choice, as I said, is every individual's own.<br /><br />Liberty Hall!Dhoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461434428038701574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-78093858992891369182012-06-01T03:14:19.974-07:002012-06-01T03:14:19.974-07:00Ajai, you have been bought!!
