sorry to say but the salaries paid to defence personnel in usa and other countries are much better, the treatment they get by there govt and people is much better, further if they get sufficient relaxation time.In india the real scene is different people retire from ships and submarine, continously at fields borders to combat naxals, mao, terrorist,floods, borewells or any distress. in other countries peace time is peace. you will be surprised to know people in armed forces at times on special mission have not seen the dead bodies of parents not committed their last rites too and many more stories can be told . just b'coz of one incident you can not malign forces. officers get leave one week before time no reservations for them thanks to lalu for 90 days advance reservation. There is no tax exemption for canteens on VAT, you all are sadly mistaken, why canteen facility is given at remote areas we can not go hunting for basic needs, which civilians are envious of.If any you have f'ship with any civilian then he will ask favours from canteen, please see mindset of people.Yes there can be bad people here too like any other organisation, b'coz after all we are humans with all frailties.But don't malign us, you can not understand or imagine the life they undergo and reach on top
