Sam Manekshaw (India's Chief of army staff at the time) is quite an interesting person. If anyone's interested, take a look at his wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Manekshaw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Manekshaw Here are some of his choice quotes: On the military knowledge of politicians: "I wonder whether those of our political masters who have been put in charge of the defence of the country can distinguish a mortar from a motor; a gun from a howitzer; a guerrilla from a gorilla, although a great many resemble the latter." A 'Yes man' is a dangerous man. He is a menace. He will go very far. He can become a minister, a secretary or a Field Marshall but he can never become a leader nor, ever be respected. He will be used by his superiors, disliked by his colleagues and despised by his subordinates. So discard the 'Yes man'.
