Why would I mourn an Indian soldier?

Dude, you shouldn't be that blinded by your hate that you fail to recognize that a human being has lost its life. I know in today's world, where humans die by the hundreds compassion is hard to come by but come on, the least you can do is not comment. is it that hard? Imagine how you would feel if a Chinese soldier died and all the Indians on this board were making fun of that.

ontopic: loss of life is always a sad affair.rip

Because a dead soldier is no one's enemy.

Rest In Peace.

Well, let's see. 20 people were killed in Xinjiang during a terrorist attack, and 7 of them are Chinese soldiers. Indians jumped all over us and not a single thread of compassion. They made fun of China for how many pages of trolling?

Sorry dude, yes I feel compassion for human beings, but I am not sure this case applies.

Brother, if a dog bites you and you in turn bite a dog, whats the difference between you and a dog? Our morals are what set us apart from the rest of the species in the Animal kingdom. You could've shown you superior quality here had you refrained from making inappropriate comments.

One dead in T-90 battle tank accident in Chennai

In a freak accident, a soldier perched over a T-90 battle tank was killed when its driver lost control and dashed against a concrete structure here Friday.

A concrete slab fell on the tank following the mishap, killing the soldier and injuring another at the Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE).

“It is an unfortunate accident. The tank was taken out for testing. The driver was inside the tank and two others were sitting outside,” a senior official told IANS.

“The driver lost control and dashed against a concrete column. A concrete slab fell on the tank killing one person and injuring the other,” he said.

The dead man was identified as Harish. Another source told IANS: “The tanks are parked inside a garage. The vehicle was taken out for a test run when the accident happened. ”It seems one of the steering sticks of the tank got stuck and the driver lost control of the vehicle.”

The injured soldier has been admitted in a military hospital. T-90 is a Russian battle tank. India also manufacturers modified T-90 tanks at the Heavy Vehicles Factory here. These are called Bhishma
