This is a brilliant initiative! Our armed forces are our pride and such knowledge-sharing between current and former chiefs will only make them stronger. Operation SINDOOR showed our capabilities, but we must stay ahead of threats. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

While I appreciate the Army's efforts, I hope such meetings also discuss how to reduce tensions with neighbors. Strong defense is important, but lasting peace should be the ultimate goal. The budget for defense could be better balanced with social spending.

Operation SINDOOR was a masterclass in military strategy! Glad to see our forces learning from each operation. The tri-service coordination is crucial - China and Pakistan won't dare mess with us if we keep this up. More power to our armed forces! 💪

As a military wife, I'm proud but also concerned. While these strategy meetings are important, I hope they also discuss better facilities for our jawans and their families. The real strength of our army lies in the welfare of every soldier.

Hope they discuss modernizing equipment and reducing dependence on imports. Atmanirbhar Bharat should start with our defense forces. Also, more transparency about these operations would help citizens understand the challenges our forces face.
