Exposed to extremes of envioronment, chest opened to terrorists bullets round the clock,the officialdom blind to the lack of basic civic amenities and an econoic insecurity plagueing the kith and kin at home the soldiers mind is waiting to explode and an invitation to disaster.Sooner the powers at the helm realise this, it is better for the nation whose defences lies squarely on the hands of these sentinels on the border.The civilian hardly knows that there is a systemic deficiency in the vintage army.Many an honest officer and soldier is cout-martialled for lesser crimes just to save the top brass from being exposed of their inefficient handling and mis- adventures.
