This is the actual problem with us. Everyone feels that the Armed Forces personnel get everything free. However, this is not the fact. The FACT is that the Civilian Bureaucracy gets everything, be it the age of retirement till 60 years, assured promotions, entitled residential accommodation and everything else which one can think of but still, when the time comes to deliver, these Civilian Bureaucrats call the Army.
