Yesterday I was watching an old black & white movie named "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb". The movie was actually quite hysterical at the way Army Generals can behave sometimes, without even letting the countries civil higher authorities know about it.
What it made me think was that, it is actually possible that Generals can go crazy. Just think about it for a moment. You are hired to fight your countries enemies, and all your life, serving your country for like 30-40 years, you don't even get a chance to fight. Just imagine, this can actually make some people go psychotic.
Then it made me think, was that some kind of thinking that can trigger wars (like in the movie)? and i thought it can, it definitely can. Maybe Kargil was one such thing, as no civil authorities were really aware about it, but Army generals just went for it and ohhhh we are in a war.....
