I see a general trend among Indians on Social media when it comes to armed forces.Don't ask for revenge,retaliation,war because our brothers,husband etc are in army ,if you want fight, go fight yourself.Even some ex serviceman are also included in the rhetoric of "we have family" etc
With due respect to these people ,I understand their emotions, but I have to call BS on it,generally this idea is propagated by leftist all over the world but I see this gaining prominence in India.
If tomorrow there is fire ,people will expect the firefighters to their job,or should firefighter say we have family ,go douse it yourself.What if there is some arson and people call police ,and they respond with "we have families please stop it yourself".Same goes for other services which involve some kind of risks.
The point is, before joining armed forces you should know that violence and risk to life is part and parcel of your job,you cannot ,should not shy away from it.Your country train and equip you for these actions.How is it wrong on the part of civilians to expect the armed forces to bring violence to the enemies of the nation.In the end armed forces are the fighting arm of country ,and when fight is upon us,who else should people look up to?
There is too much bull shit going in our country,armed force are now expected to preach and spread ahinsa parmo dharma WTF! and those who live by violence,show ferocity ,are aggressive, being looked down upon ,even in promotions those officers are deliberately kept out.Warrior spirit is deliberately being killed ,even legitimate call for violence is being frowned upon.They only want armed forces to act as shield to an attack.What about being sword for the nation ,to reach out to the enemies in their own den,to deliver punishment ,rage,anger of the nation to our enemies.
As far as civilians are concerned ,rest assured when the need arise they will walk into death with minimum training for the nation.It's not that in war only armed forces will face the risk,the bombs and missile that will flow into our cities will not differentiate between armed forces and civilians.
There is a deliberate attempt being made to wipe out our warrior heritage ,fighting spirit is being subdued in this country.Cowardice is being promoted,wrapped in intellectualism and sophistication. In such a case disband all the armed forces and channel the money being spent on armed forces into Pakistani coffers,I am sure that money will be enough for Pakistan to let this "Gandhian " country live in PEACE.Damn our honor!
