WTF!!!

Dated: 1 Oct '08 @ 23:03

phew! jus finished watching a show ..its called face the nation ..and the question.."have the armed forces crossed there limit by not accepting the recommendations of the 6 CPC as it is " ..

all i can say to the news channel is WTF ..is that a question worth framing .. its such a cheap question that will put even a freebie to shame ...( that quote is btw totally original ..)

though the debate brought out that the indian public is totally with the defence forces what i hated was the framework of the question .. if they wanted to bring out the various sides of the issue they could have found million other ways to do it ..but a question like this just sensentionalises the whole thing without bringing in any solution with it ..

the debate was nicely carried forward by the retd. admiral and he put forward his points in logical and succint manner .. a former secretary on the panel had no valid arguments to counter the point blank questions that the former navy chief raised with respect to the reasons why the anomalies crept up in the first place .. all that the secretary said just exposed the callous manner in which the administration takes care of the men in uniform whose sacrifice cant be measured by mere notes .

though many people supported the defence and said that they need to be paid more and handsomely , one of the ladies interviewed said that the armed forces are given lot of free stuffes everywere they go and that they shouldnt complaint.. all i want to say to her is "GetLost B****h" ..put her into one of the forward post and ask her to live there , keep constant vigil and have the fear of the enemy(natural and manmade) always hanging around..and tell her that she will be paid around 10k and free house for doin that...lets c whether she will as passionate in accepting it as she was defending the disparity..

the moot point is not about the money but about the dignity of the officers and men .. what makes the bureucrats think that the officers in the army are less capable intellectually (physical is beyond comparison ) than they are ?.. why has the situation come to such an extent that the chiefs had to resort to such a measure?..why did the government show such stupidity ,when forming the panel of 40 members who looked into the anomalies ,as to not involve a single uniformed person ..? .. we need permenent solutions and the govt. of the day has to answer to the public so that it doesnt happen in the future ..


but the silver lining i think is the defence minister .. hats off to him ..i think he is the right person who is at the helm at the right time ..though i can write a single post just praising the manner in which he has handled the ministry of defence ..for now i thank him for being compassionate to the needs of the defence personnel ..his positive view has helped a lot in moving ahead..

i think that the situ will be resolved in militaries favour as it shud be ..common sense should prevail ..and if that happens..then its back to kissing and making it up..afterall we need everyone to work in unison to make this country reach its potential...

i feel happy that i have vented out my thoughts.. wish to do it the same for all the issuees i had listed down in my last post ..

till i get back to u..

alvida
