[@creepy448]

Army desperately needs good speakers like Major Sapru especially in the officers cadre. Some officers speak so bad, they speak like a head constable.
The beauty of SSB is that it selects good speakers which is absent in services like Civil Services.

[@winlifelikeawarrior]

Thanks for sharing your views.
However, Public Speaking is an Art...it depends on an individual how much efforts one puts in to hone those skills of public speaking. So, let's not denigrade any service or profession...

[@ankurmishra7773]

1. A soldier isn’t a public relations guy, every army has a team for that sir. 2. The special forces are some of the best soldiers for the job. Full of courage we cannot even imagine. So respect to every single one, whether they speak well or not. We are fortunate to have every single one of these super warriors. 🙏🙏🙏
