Kargil war is not about Loosing or Winning, We all know that that territory falls in Indian territory so in the end we have to leave indian territory
(-) Timing was not appreciable
(-) One Men Adventure
(-) No plan B in case of retreat bcoz Plan was incomplete without taking all stakeholders involve
(+) reveal incompetence of Indian side
(+) India usually vacate Kargil hills (cold hell) in winters & that mistake Paid-off them with interest
(+) We usually count only Dead ones not --- Cost of War / Mental Problems in extreme Cold / Unfriendly Environment
(+) Indian Bofors Artilllery failed to take Correct Targets (maybe bcoz of weather)
Last 15 years Indian Army wont Vacate those Hills & I think it will result in Extreme Waste of Money, Mental Case Soldiers, Limbless Soldiers, Special Hospitals for those soldiers who required special treatment.
Those brave Mental/Limbless Soldiers are Sure Burden for Indian Economy, and can result in Hate of War esp duty in Kargil or Kashmir area
Moreover, for our side, its not about Loosing or winning, maybe we lost 2700 Soldiers (without going into details) but we Owe +1 on India, ---- Expect the Unexpected Mentality will Haunt the Indian Army forever
