Thread is going way OT here. How do you know what's the current criteria for selection ? Also, is it the quality of kids that are being selected for training at NDA bad or is the cirriculum taught at NDA outdated or even irrevelant ? Matter of Fact, USMA picks at highschool level too, they currently boast the most powerful arsenal.. I dont see american forces lacking here. As for the skills part, pick any offcr who graduated from Naval Academy or even the engineering schools from where TES/TGC and SSC(T) guys study, they arguably have the best engineers from the country at par with "old campus" IIT graduates.
Please keep these idiots out of this thread, mentioning them will only bring us down to their level.
