Yes, I agree we are selfish in a way.I think it would be a great achievement if serving in the military is made mandatory for a period of say 2 years.It would not only bring discipline in all youngsters, but also the military will never be short of officers. But, India(Read politicians) couldnt even give Mr.Kalam a fair chance of contesting the elections, so I think it will take some more time for India to achieve something really great.
