gentlemen, the last two posts are brilliant. I am apprehensive about command structure the most and the role. I thank both you and others for giving great input. I am sure decision makers are working hard on these issue, now I must go back and enjoy Mr. DHoni's dhamakas. But before leaving one last ...

During Khandhar hijacking, US Delta Group was ready to go into action at behest of Indian govt, while the plane was in UAE. Similarily many nations have such form of pacts. India as of today is not capab...
