They are like those beauty queens who talk about social service during the contests.These kids are like any kids who join a new Job.They are so naive .Somehow they have been brainwashed into thinking that only they work for the country.This is dangerous as they will develop contempt for civilians. They indeed work for the country...but so do millions of people working in other fields. Dont doctors/engineers/software techies/lawyers work for the country whether directly or indirectly ? Anyway Everybody ends up compromising after few years of service. Have you heard of the Generals siphoning off funds meant for buying Dal Chawal for soldiers. So please let's not be holier than thou. Anyway the idea of an agressive army is of little relevance when we have infiltration of Bangladeshis by the millions.Can we stop that ? Did we do anything when BSF personnel were killed by the Bangladesh Rifles ? Having only a strong army is not the way to development anyway as Japan has proved. Development comes from a strong economy. If the economy is not strong from where will the govt. get money for defence expenditure.Anyway these kids will grow up, opt for voluntary retirement & join the corporate sector in another 10-12 years like the army officers are doing now. Guaranteed.
