Problem is that most Army officers are uniformed & uneducated (in real sense). They are easily influenced by propoganda. They can't determine what is truth & what is subterfuge. They drop their guard to co-religionists, ethnicities & caste. This wasn't so earlier but is so now.

How to belittle the armed forces—indicate implicitly that they are no better than darwans.
BJP has been doing that since 2014. Many veterans still defending them on every issue regardless of the facts on ground.
Necessary to ape the Armed Forces uniform, oak leaves braid on peaked cap and lanyard et al ? Gives impression of a tinpot regime. To complete the picture, might as well give them the rank of Marshall too. Seems someone is enamoured with Uniform. If so, focus on those wearing it
