After all how many armies in to world have had the honor of refusing the dead bodies of its own soldiers?
How many armies in the world have left it soldiers to be slaughtered by enemy air force and artillery, because it had already disowned it soldiers, even before the conflict began?
How many army's can proudly claim , that it soldiers survived by eating grass(literally), just because those who planned the operation, did not factor in the logistics ?
How many armies can claim that it lost about thousand soldiers, just to end up with one peak.
How many nations can proudly claim honor, of its prime minister being utterly humiliated by another nation president, because he can not keep his army in check?
How many nations can claims the honor of being exposed as 'bunch of liars', after its claims are exposed in front of the whole world??
