Stiff Opponent of Google Earth used it for Military operatioin

Operation Chhamar ends, 13 militants killed- Politics/Nation-News-The Economic Times

The above report gives the detail that how Indian Military army had killed fifteen militants in high reaches of Chhamar Sar, nearly 15000 ft above sea level. Maj Gen VSS Goudhar, who headed the operation explained that they took benefit of the images provided by Google Earth.

It is pertinent to note here, that Ministry of Defence of Government of India has strongly objected to the images of the defence installations that could be accessed through Google Earth.

The moral of the story is that one should learn to absorb the technology. There is no benefit in showing opposition and reluctance. The right approach is learn it and absorb it to best use in your own field of activity.
