My friend you are truly beneath contempt.Go ahead with your research and do arrive at any conclusion that satisfies you. I owe you know explanations.

Is that a twit for your twat? Do ponder over that.
Ad hominem attacks... nice. Your profile is still lying and so is your claim of 14 years in Kashmir.

Are your bags packed?


EDITTED TO ADD...

This just in from our friends in India... Indian Army policy regarding tours in Kashmir.
Quote:
An army unit is sent to Kashmir on a three-year tour of duty; a two-year break is given before the next tour.

The conflict itself is only 16 years old, correcting for the one year differential between today and the date of the source.
Quote:
The intense pressure of counter-insurgency operations in Kashmir, now in the 15th year, is beginning to erode army morale and discipline.

So even if your were the most unlucky SOB in the Indian Army your claim of 14 years is complete and utter bollocks. Shall we do the math, I do so love word problems. 18 years in service puts you joining in 1989. The Kashmir CI operations began in 1991. Lets say you were first out of the blocks and sent in.

1991 Kashmir
1992 Kashmir
1993 Kashmir
1994 Anywhere but K
1995 Anywhere but K
1996 Kashmir
1997 Kashmir
1998 Kashmir
1999 Anywhere but K
2000 Anywhere but K
2001 Kashmir
2002 Kashmir
2003 Kashmir
2004 Anywhere but K
2005 Anywhere but K
2006 Kashmir
2007 Kashmir

Now count with me... one, two, three... eleven. 11 years max and that's if you are the most hated man by whoever assigns rotations to your unit/units you have been in. Now we feed that information into the Armed Forces Cow Manure Detection Device (AFCMDD)... DING! We have a loser.

Happy trails poser.
