I totally agree with you ma'am, Because am also a son of an Ex-ARMY Man Am proud to be so.
Because as you can see I so many places now days boom blasts like things takes places and in fraction of seconds media reaches there and asks to the people affected, But if no rescue or help is reached by the time they even don't care to look to fellow persons bleeding beside them they just give big big speeches in the mike and the captain of fools in India the TV channels records them and telecasts live................................. But when ever there is a war or any kind of rescue operation in the borders No One Cares they think that soldiers are like Roberts only made to save the nation and all the morons. they think that soldiers don't have families they don't need any money to live the rest of the life..............
Sorry if I had said some thing wrong............................. My father was not a officer he was a JCO that is junior commanding officer but he was a well qualified teacher in his area that was Booms and mining. He commanded Hundreds of peoples under him But now he is doing a job of security officer where there is no respect or no that much salary but he goes to do this because to look after the family .............

Why there is no option to the soldiers after their retirement to work I don't know..............
