Not only a General's anguish, but any person with commonsense & a sense of justice will realise the great need to improve life for our defence personnel. For those who are entrusted with the job of safeguarding a nation's security, and who give up the comforts of life most Indians live, it is the duty of the national government to provide these personnel a security in their life. It is one thing to shower praise on a soldier's sacrifice or to raise money for them in the wake of a war,and to ceremonially salute the martyrs, and this is good. But it is more important to genuinely respect and honour them during their lifetime, to look after their welfare,and pay them well -- which they certainly deserve just as other citizens of India do. We often hear of the less than satisfactory conditions in which our soldiers work, survive when in-service and when out of service.
It is hoped that compassion and a sense of justice prevails.
