Interesting that during Hegseth’s address, the seating arrangement was such that senior enlisted personnel sat beside their service/command chiefs. Not a sight you’d see in the ultra rank conscious hierarchies everywhere else.

A quote to remember:- “दर्शकों की रुचि की आड़ में हमें उथलेपन को उन पर नहीं थोपना चाहिए। कलाकार का कर्त्तव्य है कि वह उपभोक्ता की रुचियों का परिष्कार करे।” This loosely translates to: “ We must not impose shallowness on our audiences just to cater to their existing tastes.…
