If nothing else, VKS row makes generals, admirals and assorted ranks prolific opinion writers!! Here’s a sampling!!

DR Mankekar’s book on the 1962 debacle had the same title))
heard this title umpteen times on TV?)
(Here
too the title is borrowed from a journalist’s story!!)
And not to mention Outlook’s piece, talking in explicit terms how the row is all about the succession battle rather than mere date of birth.

Just hated to read one of the writers above alluding to the threat of 'withdrawal of President's pleasure' option.How low can a former three star stoop?Does he have an idea of what damage it would do to the Military of the country?

Agree. Personal prejudices and bias often comes into play when former armed forces officers start expressing opinions about sensitive matters.
