Must admit I miss Beepin's monthly comedy routines - the dude would not even spare Bangladesh in his skits.

Mir Bajwa is not even fit to be their pet dog, because to be a dog is to be loyal, and Bajwa is anything but.

bravo and well-done to pir sahb AgNoStiC MuSliM for gaining so many mureeds of this caliber.

Similar to Bipin, Anil too has COIN experience in Kashmir

 

[Ajamal]

I would have loved to see Lt. general Sayed Atta Hasanain as CDS. He is a great stratec thinker and scholer. He is the most competent one tocarrt forward Gen Bipin Rawat's work of establishing theater command.

Congratulations. India is fortunate. They never ever had a traitor, as their army chief, as is the case of Pakistan.

There is competition between Indian Army, Navy and Airforces.

Their last CDS was from the Army and was alledgedly killed by their Airforce.
