Do we have a memorial for the martyrs. No. Could we complete the Police memorial; left halfway to its completion. No. Remember how shabbily we sent off Field Marshal Maneshaw? No one from MoD or Services who mattered went there to pay the respects. Do we care for any tragedy in which less than 50 persons die? No, that's a simple accident for us. Don't blame only the politicians - we all must share the blame of being callous? In our lives only those people matter from whom we can get something. Otherwise I suspect that we would not hesitate in outsourcing the last rites of our near and dear one. Our emotional and sentimental quotient is dying.

THE politicians will never allow the appreciation of the deeds and importance of the martyrs to spread as this will bring the army into prominence and who knows one day thw may kick out the politicians.
