It is a cheap mentality of fault finding as to what the intelligence was doing for several days etc. The writers do not know the bad terrain or climate and the difficulties in gathering info or intelligence. If this be the truth always, then, who should be blamed for 1962, or Stalin can be condemned for German invasion in 1939. What matters is the final victory, the initial set backs are routine. the arm chair critics who live in air conditioned bunglows of south Extn, Malabar Hils etc. should send their children in National defence Academy and know the work culture and working conditions. These "jholawala" critics oppose even enhanced defence allocations by branding it as jingoism. Such people are vultures.
