With seniority, comes lethargy and self interest. They only look for promotions, so that they can have cozy post retirement jobs. [/quote]
Fully agree. Long before Sukhna there was a time when a commander commanding one of the spearhead Divs, along with 3 of his brigade commanders (of a total of 4) were being tried for impropriety. The rot is long and deep - glazing over it in the name of Desh-Bhakti will make it only worse. You won't have to go very far to find mid-level officers in the cadre besotted with Nikon SLRs, iPods and other goodies. Not saying they should not be, but how much can they sustain on their salaries. And then?
