This is an Epic Incident of How Cool is the Observation Skills in Indian Army


A young Army officer was severely wounded in the head by a grenade, but the only visible, permanent injury was that both of his ears were amputated.

Since his remaining hearing was sufficient, he remained in the Army. Many years later he eventually rose to the rank of Major General.

He was, however, very sensitive about his appearance. One day the General was interviewing three servicemen who were candidates for his headquarters staff.
The first was a Squadron Leader pilot from Air Force , and it was a great interview. At the end of the interview the General asked him, ‘Do you notice anything different about me?’ The young officer answered, ‘Why, yes, Sir, I couldn’t help but notice that you have no ears.’ The general was displeased with his lack of tact and threw him out.

The second interview was with a Naval Lieutenant Commander, and he was even better. The General then asked him the same question, ‘Do you notice anything different about me?’ He replied sheepishly, ‘Well, sir, you have no ears.’ The General threw him out also.
The third interview was with an Infantryman and a commando qualified Major.

The General liked this guy, and went ahead with the same question, ‘Do you notice anything different about me?’ To his surprise the Major said, ‘Yes, sir, you wear contact lenses.’ The General was very impressed and thought, ‘What an incredibly observant officer, and he didn’t mention my ears.’ He asked, ‘Major, how do you know I wear contacts?’ ‘Well, sir,’ the officer replied, ‘It’s pretty hard to wear glasses with no f******g ears.’

What a great presence of mind? Seriously, the officers of the Indian Armed Forces are always cool!
