Hurt Locker and Kargil

This year is the 10th anniversary of the Kargil war, something that I completely forgot, and I'm utterly shameful for that. The slogan to Jai Jawan brings goosebumps, and I was thinking about it the whole time I was watching the movie "Hurt Locker" what an intense movie. A must see movie on the sometimes forgotten bomb technicians. I was impressed maybe more than other because it had a personal touch to it. My uncle was one of the few Indian Navy underwater Commandos from the Executive branch who lost their lives during the Indo Pak war of 1971-72. He lost his life when his vehicle hit a land mine, which is another lethal object like the IEDs.
