[Hoist them with their own petard. Not too bad! At least, on the short run.
However, the demand to treat the armed forces as the holy cow has its own embedded serious pitfalls. The (fictitious?) claim of "surgical strikes" will fall beyond the purview of rational scrutiny. Similar difficulties could arise even in case of questionable defence deals, if defended by one in uniform. Of course, belittling the armed forces in comparison with the RSS definitely falls in a different category. In the video clip below, Bhagawat is claiming in case the country needs, the Army will take six-seven months to get ready whereas the RSS will do it in (only) three days. That's, really, too much. In whatever way you look at it. 《In a scathing tweet, Gandhi demanded apology from RSS after Bhagwat questioned "preparedness of Indian Army to fight enemies at border".

Congress President Rahul Gandhi today slammed the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat for his "disrespectful" comments against Indian Army. In a scathing tweet, Gandhi demanded apology from RSS after Bhagwat questioned "preparedness of Indian Army to fight enemies at border". "Shame on you Mr Bhagwat, for disrespecting our martyrs and our Army," read his tweet. Using hashtag "#ApologizeRSS", the Gandhi scion further tweeted, "The RSS chief's speech is an insult to every Indian, because it disrespects those who have died for our nation. It is an insult to our flag because it insults every soldier who ever saluted it." rahul-gandhi Congress communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala tore into the RSS and called on people to reject the saffron outfit's "DNA of division". "Let all Indians remember- they vilified Gandhi, they slandered Nehru, they slammed Patel, they attacked Ambedkar. They didn't fly the Tricolour for 52 years, they don't admit women to Shakha for 92 years. Now, Sangh insults Army's valour. We, the Indians, reject your DNA of division," Surjewala tweeted. Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani and Patidar activist Hardik Patel too joined Gandhi in attacking Bhagwat. "RSS is an army of underwear clad men who spark riots in country. I urge Bhagwat to go sell pakodas across country so that Modi can give government jobs to youth of our country," Mevani tweeted. Whereas Mevani's colleague Patel said "no one needs to learn patriotism" from Bhagwat. "A case should be registered against Bhagwat for calling Indian Army weak," Patel tweeted. "Despite not being a military organization, Sangh can prepare military personnel within three days which the Army normally takes months to do. This is our capability," said Bhagwat, speaking at an RSS function in Muzaffarpur, Bihar.
