Then why miss out on this officer, he also fought and became a POW.... or perhaps Abhinandan is being highlighted to hide the humiliation.People who fight for their country and are ready to lay down their lives for their country are always heroes, even if they end up as PoWs behind enemy lines. They deserve all the awards they can get. Whether they are from India or Pakistan or any other country in the world. Cowards on the internet sitting inside their comfortable homes will not understand such things.
John Mccain was also a PoW in Vietnam war, yet he was considered an American hero. Karnal Sher Khan, who died fighting Indians in Kargil was rewarded by Pakistan for his bravery and the reward was recommended by the Indians themselves who he fought. Abhinandan deserves it no less. I guess the Indian and Pakistani tradition in this regard is different. We consider those who fight as heroes, not just those who win.
