I think an IQ test should be part of para sf selection, maybe then they would put in the bare minimum of research. If i was running into building fighting terrorist my whole search history would be about that topic. All they do is make reels with punjabi music.
Ego pumping,Ego boosting,Buttering you to believe you are He Man gives you that false sense of Dopamine not even Cocaine can give.
Thats what keeps them going.
I had a friend in RR who was a jawan..he told me this story..
They went into operation in the same place which is bothering Para SF recently.
So these RR folks had laid a cordon but due to the terrain could not make out where the caves were from which fire was coming.
They played safe and soon Para SF was dropped.
As soon as they landed they charged towards the general direction from which fire was coming.
2 operators got hit..one was hit in the head and got matyred on the spot…the second one was alive and crying like a kid to be evacuated.
Same guy 15 minutes ago was acting in front of RR guys like he is a Rambo.
My full respect to the sacrifice and service but this ego boosting by the unit after probation is one of the reason for not wanting to learn anything at all…Coz everyone keeps telling you are the best and nothing can happen to you.
Rest of the problems are pretty higher ups!
