		Last month, General Singh broke down on national television shortly after being named army chief designate, as he recalled the help he had got from a former militant who was trained in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and whom he had pardoned.
		There is little to suggest immediately that Tarlochan Singh had a hand in J.J. Singh?s appointment in the UPA regime though, because the general was the seniormost officer in line for the post.

		The practice is in marked contrast with the soldierly ethos and is indicative of the poor collective moral fiber of the Indian Army.

		Lt Gen J J Singh and Air Marshal Tyagi have risen steadily in their careers, together, and both of them now lead the powerful Western Commands of their respective forces.
