The poeple who were actually involved in this cap project were actually praying that Indians attacked so they could kick their behinds. The reason we were so confident was that our intel was very strong and we knew every move they made, where every unit was and we were even listeniing their border conversations.
This was one of the reasons, Indians backed off also, their element of surprise was gone, this was the main reason they started working on the doctrine named "Cold Start". They have realized that, their bases are far from the border and predicted battle fields and by the time they move their massive military, the whole world knows.
