But it's ok. Since when the ban comes, it will be only one member. I'm out of here. You guys can't handle debate. Cheers, Doc

And then people dump on me when I say that India is becoming a saffron Pakistan under the Sangh. I hear someone has taken Tharoor ji to court for saying the exact same thing. Interesting times we live in, no SS ji? Cheers, Doc

We were not talking about COAS. Please follow the train of the discussion after jumping in. We were discussing the fact that the Army is still largely secular. Or not. Cheers, Doc

Absolutely fine with any "tabs". If you are from the MOD you can approach me through the proper channels. This is hardly it. Cheers, Doc

No I cannot (and will not) provide any "contrary evidence". All such is of personal and hence protected and confidential nature. And this is but an open forum of faceless backgroundless IDs. Cheers, Doc

You are out of touch with the current reality and how it's been evolving over the past 5 years. Cheers, Doc

It should never be used as a political tool. It should never be politically partisan. It should never be anything but Indian and secular. Cheers, Doc

I have nothing against him myself. I agree I cannot let my bias color my vision here. What I've shared is what I've heard. And these are senior officers. Neither rank and file nor kids. Nor disgruntled passed overs. Will let you guess the rank and vintage .... Cheers, Doc

Thanks buddy. Nice of you. Cheers, Doc

I appreciate that. But he's widely seen as a BJP yesman who is used politically to have guns fired off his shoulder from. That is an affront to many faujis. Cheers, Doc

I am still very much a hardcore sainik. What gave you the impression anything had changed there? I do not mix my local and regional politics and personal loyalties with national ones. Life is never black and white. Or binary. That is the burden for simple minds. And the Indian education...

I have no intention of revealing more on an open forum being read by the enemy. Identities. Proofs. This is not a court. Cheers, Doc

Bhai ... Aapki angrezi tang hai? I said if Sam wanted a coup a coup would have happened. There is zero doubt in my mind or that of hundreds of vets from that time. The fact that there was no coup means that this was a red herring. Where then is the question of maligning Sam? I love him. He...

You know little about soldiers and their code and who they fight for. I don't blame you. Few if any civvies do. Cheers, Doc

The army takes care of business. Defence forums and Twitter experts and think-tanks are free to play soldier. Cheers, Doc

If Sam wanted a coup, the army would have moved without flinching. Cheers, Doc

Serving men. And please do not disrespect their professionalism by calling it cribbing. They are some of the most educated and sharpest minds in the country. Cheers, Doc

You expect serving servicemen to speak against their chief. To air internal grievances? Cheers, Doc

Maybe because there is more than a little truth in it. Cheers, Doc

I surely plan to. It's why I came here. In spite of knowing what the reception to my politics and worldview would be like. Cheers, Doc
