Hey folk,

Ex-Army, India's Army is still in moustache twirling stage. Bravado for
the
old time sake, when in Tripoli, and Toubro when the Italians dreaded the

war crries on Indian Units. Most funny Delhi Police men two of them were

aiming old bolt action rifles !. Of Course at that time there were no
Armymen.

I am convinced onl providence saves this land !  Also America !

regards to all: Sai Ram Sathya_kumar
