For the current condition of selling the country to others Bangladeshi people, politicians are responsible not the army. I once asked a question like yours to my brother furiously that this senior defence officers like CAS, DGFI chief all knew about this BDR massacre, they didn't do anything...didn't they take their oath once?. He said, "they (defence officers) also knew that your politicians are their seniors, so decision was up to them and they maintained the chain of command".
Please try to think from all perspectives, we the people are cheaters, we want them to rescue us from danger whenever needed but we'll later again punish them because they have their govt. job bond. Look at Mosharraf in Pakistan...I meet many Pakistani people here in Malaysia, no one ever told me that he did bad to Pakistan compared to political govt. Now what's he undergoing there? The same thing applies to Ershad, he's now one velka and to many betrayer.
It's true army is completely controlled by BAL/india now but it never means all are sold. Probably people who might take some steps are afraid seeing others' fates especially BDR officers.
With due respect Bhai, I disagree with your views. Just look at the situation in Pakistan or Sri Lanka, their Army did not get sold out to the highest bidder like this.
As for Chain of Command, if Army top brass knows full well that some of our politicians are being controlled by another country, it is in their job description to remove them from office and put them in jail where they belong. As long as the Armed forces do not wake up to this realization about their responsibility, our country will not be able to go forward.
As I said before, we the people of Bangladesh, hire them, train them, give them all military hardware, so they remain the ultimate authority in terms of being the most organized and powerful force within the country - if they cannot do their job using that authority, then sold out politicians, journalists, professors et al will get away with treason, and they will say that they maintained chain of command. This is evasion of responsibility and duty, pure and simple.
Us Bangladeshi's are South Asians like other Indians, but I think our people are even more delusional than even Indians, I am sorry to say, because we do not see this kind of problem in India. I guess they are not under as much threat because of their size. Pakistan and Sri Lanka are better examples where the Armed forces are doing their jobs, keeping traitors out of their polity, Bangladesh has become infested with national traitors and are currently being run by them. It did not happen in one day, it started with confusion of our all "great" leaders like Mujib, Bhashani, Shiraj Shikder et al, all of them short sighted and emotional and all of them providing poor leadership for the nation. The basic problem that I see among the people and leaders of Bangladesh is poor understanding of geopolitics. If a nation cannot get its geopolitics right, they are bound to make mistakes after mistakes and go from higher level of independence and sovereignty to lower levels, and as a result lose control of the steering wheel of their nation and thus keeping the nation in the vicious cycle of poverty and underdevelopment.
