Yes, you read the headline correctly and you’ll soon know just how true it is.
In 2002 our Mechanized Infantry unit deployed to Kuwait for Operation Desert Spring. Since it was right after 9/11/2001, we had a sneaky feeling that we weren’t just going on a rotation to train with the Kuwaitis. Six months later, we went home for a couple of months and then found ourselves right back in the Middle East.
February 2003.
Celebrating my 21st birthday in Kuwait isn’t precisely how I had imagined it. I thought I would be with the boys in a college town drinking until I couldn’t walk and then being carried to some couch somewhere. Instead, we were sitting in a white tent in the middle of the desert being issued brand new war stock Bradleys and depleted uranium rounds and sweating our balls off, because you know, no AC. Did I mention we were all sick too? As soon as we had arrived, the good ol’ Doc gave us the smallpox vaccine. So that was pretty terrible.

The nation today paid tribute to General Krishnaswamy Sundarji, former Chief of Army staff on his 22
nd death anniversary. General K Sundarji, from 1986 to 1988, served as Chief of the Indian Army Staff. He was the last former officer of the British Indian Army to lead the Indian Army.
Born in 1928, Sundarji graduated from Madras Christian College and, two years before Independence, joined the British-Indian army in 1945. A year later, he was commissioned into the prestigious Mahar infantry regiment and sent to the NWFP (now in Pakistan) to permanently suppress insurgents Pathan tribesmen at war with the colonial government.
The whisky-sipping Sundarji, known as the thinking general, also raised the mechanised infantry regiment and was credited for reorganizing the working and cumbersome procurement policies of the army.
