Kargil situation was like a foot in a mouth created by a silly, shallow, sick-minded general (Musharraf) without taking other services (or even the GoP) on board. On top of that, he never thought of the consequences (both tactical ond strategic ones). We were officially denying any military role in the conflict (we claimed it was a fighting between Indian military and Kashmiri freedom fighters) and Indians took full advantage of that. They used air force and bofors for pin point bombardment of our positions on mountain tops wreaking a havoc with our boys there. Since officially we were not involved, we couldn't do any thing other than being helpless spectators with our sons being slaughtered in front of our eyes. I mean same bofers were brought to the LoC pre/post 27/2 with much fanfare by Indians. But what we have done with those guns? We have turned them into fireballs and death zones. Did you ever hear any filthy Indian pig boasting of bofors post 27/2? Similarly they used M2K for pinpoint bombing during Kargil. But on 27/2, we kicked sh!t out of IAF a$$ (inluding their M2ks, MKIs, and much taunted Israeli upgraded Bisons) with impunity. That is where the leadership makes a difference. Kargil will be remembered as an episode where an Army Chief tied hands of his nation and threw it in front of hungry and filthy dogs.
