Dear Steve, Personal gratification, that's what you're harping about, right?? What personal glorification has Jacob achieved in the last 35 years. No decorations, no citations, no war honors, no land, no page 3 coverages, not even a simple batman at his service. Even today he resides in his small "cubbyhole" flat at R.K.Puram. It's a shame that an armchaired critic like you has had the audacity of questioning the integrity of a self-less war hero. We challenge you to spend 24 hrs in the jungles of the north-east amongst the insurgents or survive for even a day in the goriest hideouts of the Pakis. Then we'll talk about personal gratification and who the real brave heart is? Get that, straight!!
