Lot of General Officers were justifying Agniveer scheme in the early days.. parroting the govt's narrative on "young fit army" and "patriotic consciousness, character building" blah blah blah! The youth are played by old men, by rich men, in most societies.. into believing flowery bull sh!t and glorious falsehoods! These lines from Erich Maria Remarque's - "All Quiet On The Western Front", remain relevant after a hundred years! “While they continued to write and talk, we saw the wounded and dying. While they taught that duty to one’s country is the greatest thing, we already knew that death-throes are stronger.”
