Is it me?? ____ ::Shams Kabir

IS IT JUST ME?
I was trying to look up the names of the 17 soldiers who died in the attack.
Cannot find any references. Help me there. Was going to try to personalise the loss. It seems I am alone. Lots of hoopla. Lots of statements. The army continues to suffer for equipment. For funds. For pay! For pension. No one will address their needs but they will grieve for them. Hell, you sent them to their deaths.
And yes. The debate will be about liberals. The hyper-nationalists will drone. You will notice all their reactions will be challenging. Challenging the liberals. The pacifists. Challenging the Kashmiris. The Muslims. So on.
Almost no thought to the personal losses sustained. No thought to the cavalier treatment of our army. Nothing.
As sorry as sorry can get.
