QUALA INCIDENT

From: Gen NS Malik
Here is aan article based on the earlier article on the attack on Qalandhar shrine in Sind Pakistan recently where 100s were killed and maimed.  Ronen Sen is our Ambassdor to the most significent posts.  We know him from Moscow where he was third seretary and Man Friday of the then Ambassdor Mr DP Dhar.  Later himself aambassador there for a long time and later at washington.  He has indeed given a very informed and detailed account of the differences between the Shias, Sunnis, Sufis and of course the unfortunate course that Pakistan has taken towards Wahabism.  Very interesting reading

WOW - HOW THE OTHERSIDE THINKS

THIS COMES FROM MY CANADIAN COUSIN WHO, TO PUT IT MILDLY, IS A DEDICATED TRUMP ACOLYTE. THE LETTER MAKES INTERESTING READING IF ONLY TO SHOW HOW THE 'OTHER" SIDE THINKS! IT IS ALSO A GOOD EXAMPLE OF ALTERNATIVE TRUTHS THAT WE EXPECT TO EMANATE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE EVERY FEW MINUTES.   KERSI

by George Roof, Chief Master Sergeant (Retired), USA

Because I am a "lifer" in the military, I've seen the impact of a president more than many of you can imagine.  I enlisted with LBJ and saw just what a Democrat clusterflock was all about.  I went to Vietnam and saw how we were constantly and incessantly bombarded with micromanagement from Washington that got thousands of military people killed.  I sometimes wonder if I'll get to heaven, but if I go to hell, I'm sure I'll still be a few hundred floors above that bastard Robert McNamara , LBJ, John Kerry, Jane Fonda, and yes, even the "hero" John McCain.

ATICLE 370

A debate on Article 370 of our Constitution,  giving special status to the State of Jammu Kashmir, is going on.  Article 370 of the Constitution of India  about it  starts with , the wordings
Temporary Provisions with respect to the State of Jammu & Kashmir
Amendment to the Indian Constitution done 98 times.
To say that Article 370, is something,, which is inflexible and cannot be amended, is to misinterpret the Constitution. Incidentally, Indian Constitution has been amended from 1951 to 2013 for 98 Times. The Indian Parliament is Supreme, like the British Parliament, about which, it is said that it can pass any law except to make a man a woman and vice versa.

Story of a NDA CaetThe Deadly Duo- Father & Son! : Zero to Hero

Jan 26^th, Republic Day arrived- a day when deserving Defence Forces people get awarded for various acts of bravery and distinguished service. A few of my friends, and course mates too got the well-deserved awards.

A week later, I got a call from an unknown number. "Hello Sir! I am Vikas, can you recognise me"! It just took me two seconds to call out his surname, and he was thrilled and said "You haven't forgotten me Sir, after all these years!"…. I replied, "There are very few students from whom I have learnt so much. And you are one of them. How could I ever forget you!!

Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat's tough statement warning trouble makers in Kashmir to desist from obstructing operations by his troops or else face the consequences has evoked expected reactions.

There was one section–and I don't want to call them intellectuals–which pays lip service to the fauj but in reality stands against everything that the army seeks to protect and defend. This group has variously dubbed the Army Chief's remark as 'intemperate statement,' 'belligerent stand,' and 'declaration of war against Kashmiri youth.'

But the government had refused to divulge the details of the operation in which 19 Para soldiers took part.
