My concerns are a bit different @MvsNegi . Our citizens often forget that militaries are instruments/tools to achieve political aims and loss/damage to military instruments, when achieving the directives, is accepted, and expected, by all militaries. We can NOT have our citizens beating their chests and ramping up pressure on the govt of the day (whichever party, that is not the concern), just because some of our "tools" got damaged/shot/sunk while the military works to achieve its "aims". Our citizens will hve to grit their teeth and bear the pain/sorrow over the loss. But military/government cannot be subjected to pressure only because of the loss of tool/lives. "Mission aim" is paramount and all service personnel are prepared to face such consequences. We are not ready to be a "great power" if our citizens give up too fast. Our people will need to strengthen their hearts, and keep emotions under control, if and when we are deployed to achieve national aims. Today's response of some of our citizens and Twitterati for a loss of an IRIN vessel which belongs to a nation at war, is concerning. I hope I am wrong and this "noise" was more from a "political" perspective than emotional..!! Such emotional outbursts, if we were to suffer some loss/damage in achieving our national aims, would be very demoralising for the deployed forces. Our people need to be strong and resolute when armed forces get deployed on a national mission, nowithstanding damage/loss. "Victory- no matter what" should be the national spirit, if and when, forces get deployed to fight a war.
