Dear Sir,
I feel that as a soldier the Gen was expected to keep his emotions under control. I did not see the interview. I feel, that he should have taken some time before appearing on TV or meeting the press.
There are numerous situations those come across in a soldier's career where he has to control his emotions. As an officer, one does not have the luxury to express them in public. One has to remain calm and composed under all situations good or bad.
Regarding, Jaisa Raja, Vaise uske Sipah Salar. That may not be true in all cases. Take our own, Ch. Ajit Singh and Shri Om Prakash Chautala. They are no where near Ch. Charan Singh and Ch. Devilal respectively.
There are bad and corrupt people in all organizations and army is not an exception. After all the people in army also come from the main stream. The system does try to train every one to be honest, but not all graduate to the standard required of a soldier.
The issue here was of Gen's emotions and that is what needs to be attended to. Interestingly so far the Gen was projected to be a Jat Sikh, not many of us came out to criticize him for this TV interview or any thing else. May be we look into this aspect also.
