Predicant of the Indian army; led by pussy footed generals

The Author

Many interesting articles are doing the rounds about the treatment of the army by the MOD. But they are becoming something stale as repeatedly the same facts are presented by many writers mostly retired generals and there can be no solution. 
The difference between the MOD and MHA functioning is stark and the question remains what next? The generals don't raise an obvious point that the impasse can only be solved with the help of the COAS. True a tradition of 65 years of always saying"yes sir, three bags full" is hard to change but somebody has to bell the cat.
Why can't the COAS accompanied by the other two chiefs meet the PM and present their views and the consequences? 
Just talking to the DS  or writing a small note is not going to absolve the general staff of their responsibility to the nation and the men they command.  Nobody writes or suggests on these lines, why? Isint it time someone belled the cat?
