Thousands of Kms of LAC and LOC to defend which has both high altitude and difficult terrain.
We all saw how with Indo-Sino standoff, downsizing of Army is simply not recommended.
Any DFI member on any given date has more brains than this person. Not only that the nature of conflict and the game of Go both sides playing in the backdrop of restraint and testing of the resolve more man power is needed to man up the borders. Both the forces are avoiding to use weapons is another reason that we have to have muscle on ground.
BTW this man has only one agenda. He will read Indian leadership’s response both political and military and then will give counter opinion on it. When we tried to equip forces he said we first need logistics. When we expedited infra on borders he said we have angered PLA. When we captured key points he said it is Chinese who have captured Indian territory. When our men fought in Galwan (same men he once lead and walked along)he doubted their bravery. Now when we have stationed more aggressive units and have build up the borders beyond PLA’s imagination he is preaching us usual mundane wisdom of restructure and resize the military.
I wonder how such people face themselves in the mirror everyday. If I may add more, one can give benefit of doubt to such opinions that the person is constantly making suggestions to improve. But the kind of hatred he spews on the sidelines and influence similar rants made by usual suspects then anything he spouts can never be trusted or taken seriously.
