WE SALUTE THOSE BRAVE SOLDIERS BILLIONS TIMES WHO WERE PUSHED INTO A BATTLEFIELD WITH UNKNOWN ENEMY STRENGTH,STRATEGY,LOCATION and WEAPONARY.We salute the parents, brothers, sisters, wives and children of those brave soldiers who laid down their lives to save the honour of nation.This part of your message is beyond question. But other side of the coin is that it was a national shame.Mutilated dead bodies of soldiers of all ranks of first patrol parties remained in the battlefield for days. Where was Military Intelligence,RAW and IB for months when infilteration and fortification was going on inside Indian held territory !!!??? ON WAKING UP what strategy was planned as counter offensive !!!??? In such a situation a village securityguard (Chowkidar)would have done better than what top army brass did !!! Since nothing was known about enemy,Air Force alone should have been pushed in action for survillence followed by strikes !!! Troops pushed in action were not from the regiments who specilize in mountain warfare !!! Special ground troops were supposed to be the last to be sent to recapture enemy occupied positions after targetting and bombing enemy positions and supply lines!!! What top brass did was precisely opposite of what was required !!! Kargil war was a NATIONAL SHAME,A DEBACLE AND A DISASTER on part of top army brass and their political bosses !!! There is nothing to be proud of it to take six weeks by mighty Indian army to push few fighters back.
