I read a few books written by Ol' soldiers. In those days it was so simple to meet MG. These soldiers who were veterans of WW II approached MG and sought advise from him to leave their prestigious highly paid jobs(as you put it) and join him in his struggle. Bapu smiled and told them"no do not leave your profession(he did not say job) for, Independent India will require you" Mind you very few ICS approached Bapu with a similar request.
An apostle of peace he must have either read or have been told of KAUTILAYA'S advise to his Emperor. The bottom line is being a very shrewd person he realized that this "necessry evil" will have to be sustained in Independent India. Like it or not.Even if a consumer does not purchase Chinese goods he proves to be loyal to India. That is my definition of loyalty. I as a soldier have never felt that one out of uniform is not loyal to his country if he in his own way puts Bharat Mata above him in any way.
For those who feel agrieved that this perk is extended to this person, please tell them to take a macro view which will dilute the grudge they have of "loss of revenue".On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 12:07 PM, B S Bakshi <billbakshi@gmail.com> wrote:
We suggest that you do not waste your & our time passing on your opinion about what concerns armed forces & para military forces.You better concentrate on what concerns the country at the national level.How about you concentrate on various scams during the UPA regime? Just to refresh your memory ie G-2,Coal Gate,Adarsh,Common Wealth & of course Rail Gate.Billions & billions of Rupees and dollers is being pocketed by corrupt governments/parties & kept in Swiss accounts.Please do not forward your opinion to us in future.You have other options available to yourself.Bill

Dear All, Furher to Allahabad HC just dismissed PIL, with due respect
and regard to the soldiers, serving and retired, my opinion is as
under : (1) Soldiers - the world over - are job needy individuals like
all other citizens needing employment for the livelihood. Given an
alternative financially lucrative job, many soldiers may leave present
job. (2) No son of MPs / MLAs / Ministers / HC or SC Judges /
Bureaucrats / Corporates / Journalists / Actors / Rich Persons becomes
a soldier. (3) Job of soldier is glorified & projected by vested
interest as Patriotic to make it a noble profession. (4) Non-soldier
job to contribute to the Nation is considererd non-patriotic job. (5)
Political Bosses do not go and fight but use the soldiers as Bakra to
satisfy their own ego by creating Wars to divert attention of Nation
and to help Corporates making War Machines. (6) I would love to have
dispassionate and objective discussion in the subject matter with
malice towards none. (7) Personal accusations may kindly be avoided
since not in good taste and not desirable also. Regards,
