Received this message from a sensible, mature and proud veteran. He is in a minority at the moment but the silent majority must back him and reclaim the voice of sanity is what I feel. Read on. And Act. Now.
It’s not even funny to observe that most of who are creative at whining are those who just were mute when then RM made a written statement in parliament that OROP was not feasible or desirable.
- Mute when a Chief gave in writing that NFU & MACP not needed by services as it would kill merit.
- Mute when Then PM MMS in reply to Then ldr of opposition in lok sabha Mr Advani said OROP implemented issue closed.
- Mute when then RRM closed investigations into bursting T-72 Guns
- Mute when Substandard safety plates in mines caused deaths / maiming in mine lifting ops
One person comes along who says yes I will give and we pillory him.
Not appreciating what we got despite institutional bias.
What is in works despite lobbies & vested interests working against it …
Think …
Ponder
Instead of supporting efforts to strengthen hands that are giving we seek to deride those who fight for us
The Service pay cells
The AG & DG pers of Navy & AF
The Army CDRs & C-in-Cs of services
The Three service chiefs
The services favouring bureaucracy
The RM
The PM
.
.
We heckle Justice Reddy who is in favour of ESM
.
Other than our selves we have pilloried all ..
Sad state of affairs
We need to ask ourselves what have we done for common cause positivity ..
🙏🙏🙏🙏 Most of you here are senior in age & service ..
Respectfully .. create & take forward positive .. even positive constructive criticism
Else we will loose all respect
🙏🙏🙏
Ponder think contemplate
Another young officer, reading the above post just now messaged me this: That’s what is required Dada. Get the Army back into Army. Where has the glory gone. My character…soul…life, everything is forged in steel once I say, I am in the army. What’s this nonsense going on.
