    I am reading bt the op from Gen. Katoch's first book and yes he too calls it a failure. This is from his second book which i am yet to buy due to lack of funds as of now! He does write abt the rescue mission and boy, Maj Gen. Dalvir Singh comes off as such a kick-ass. What a man!

    yes, I too admire the man; he did bring in a lot of change which I appreciate. but bro, if BIRA, despite being CDS, is unable to bring in a change abt how SF is perceived within the army & employed, and is still is unable to establish an SF regiment which is a basic thing, then let's call it a...
