Co-operation to the British was extended by the rulers of the many princely 
states, then, now we hve co-operation with teh forces of evil from the 
myriad smaller political powers.

To understand this is the dream of all men in uniform. An order is an order 
and I am glad that there are none who question authority in our army. If 
they did we would be like Pakistan 50 years and three military regimes!!!

If u think spitting outside his car is disgraceful do not forget that  it 
wasnt too long ago in the past that the Europeans or the so called civilised 
world until very recently "sat" outside  their own doorstep and the concept 
of a daily bath still does not exist in many oftehse countries. A white skin 
is certainly not neccessarily a clean one!!
