I feel proud to have had such great generals serve our army - they were not only brilliant strategists, but, also great human beings who served our nation with dignity and valour. They commanded respect of both the military and the civilians. It makes the job of the executive a lot easier if the military is led by such people who can be consulted on and be trusted with not only decisions related to security but also provide leadership for the hundreds of communities that have had tradition of the forces and hundreds of thousands of men and women that felt compelled to serve and continue to do so. I salute you both and generals before and after you. Jai Hind!
