Shamu my friend, you almost said -throw the interest in the country's higher defence organistion into a trash can. You must understand the significance of the subject before commenting that it is devoid of substance. There is enough substane in the subject and I can assure you that. Forum is on Strategic Security of the country. Let's not look for quick fix responses in serious threads such as these. When the present HDO in its original form was created, we had leaders such as Nehu, Patel and the like who understood strategy. Now we have leaders whom I hesitate to name (I'm sure you can guess) who are all set to reach the office of highest decision making body that would control future military decisions. Military decisions have the potential to change the course of nation's history. So we need to have a HDO that has sufficient role in decision making of the country. Ask the strategic experts and they will tell you how difficult to achieve this, with bureaucracy showing little interest for the fear of losing their say. So boy, let a few hundred people visit this thread and I am sure there will be a few sparks. If this thread still does't interest you, page 3 is in the waiting. If the admins also feel so, so be it. JAIHIND.
