The colonel of an army has vast levels of responsibility from planning the troops, to facing the fire, to umpteen things that an average civilian cannot even concieve. In addition they need to be phsyically fit. They get their ranks during their middle ages, the pay is close to 17 k plus perks. They serve under unimaginable physical adversities
A graduate, pseudo intellectual IT proffesional (what an oxymoron) is paid a salary of 30 k by 21 years all he needs to do is a mundane meagre work. These guys have increased the real estates prices and inflation to sickening heights and govt staff like the army officers cannot survive the impact outside the army once they are retired.
I am sure my message will be contradicted by one of those stupid software coders, proffesionals, testers etc who have contributed nothing to the country except stupidity, pseudointellectualism, inflation, and declining morals with the rise of free money. The govt doles out concessions to Narayanamurthy, and premji inreturn for kickbacks and cannot even take care of its own defense personnel who are truly proffessional.
How about a compulsory military service like in other countries for our politicians, software guys and industrialists

How come u r so jealous of IT salary. I accpet that we get salary of 30 K compared to 17k a jawan gets,but look at the priveleage he gets, free house, sunsidized food, subsidized stuff from military canteen, tavel back home free of cost, and many more like this and what we get, apart from salary, rest everything we buy, nothing comes as subsidy. Even a gas cylinder that we use here is a private gas connection that comes with 650/- per 12 KG. Think about this boss, before u compare to IT salary from other salaried person. It's not worth cpmparing at all. We work for minimum 10 hours a day in a normal day unlike other govermnet servant.I have tremendous respect for armed force but i will suggest don't compare like this. First do a thorough home work before comparing...
