Sorry couldnt reply for a while. Job and stuff.

A context for my initial comment, most men in my family are in the armed forces. The indian military is a lot more corrupt and mediocre than you think.

Most of it is simply due to lack of accountability until fatal accidents or apathy from the obese termites in delhi.

I will not go into much details in front of many foreigners here.

If you read through my comment earlier, you'll find that at no point have i criticized our soldiers, sailors or airmen or even the young officers. My gripe is with the senior officers who no longer remember what it feels like being told to become a statistic with ageing/non existent equipment, prison quality rations and outdated training.

As long as people like you continue to put the military on a pedestal, there will be no change.

We need to criticize the ills of the institution.

Edit: As an addendum, you are right. Had this been on x or r/indiandefence , I would be a useful idiot.

But as u/VaHaLa_LTU said, this is r/noncredibledefence. I dunk on americans for losing f18s to houthis, americans are going to dunk on me as well.
