The article brings out that the trend of writing incorrect accounts of military actions, to glorify, portray military history incorrectly. Operations at Nathu La/Cho La in 1967 have been narrated to make the point. It states that it is important to portray failures, or less than perfect conduct of operations, so that lessons can be learnt and mistakes made in conduct of an operation are avoided in the future. Unfortunately, the military and military historians today have different views and failure in battle seems to carry with it a stigma and guilt, which is totally unwarranted. The article concludes that if handled correctly, even failures and lost battles can be used to glorify and motivate and yet we can learn constructive lessons from them. – Reproduced
