Holistic View for Ex Service Men

Veteran~s Effort Minimaisation By The Babus

Grapevine has it that the bureacracy is advising politicians that veterans~ movement is merely a flash in the pan, aimed at more pension under the banner One Rank One Pension (OROP).
And that ESM are not really interested in SPC as such for the serving soldiers and future of armed forces. All very subtle, clever, and devious - our Babus are the best in the world, at deviousness; the whole world recognises them as such.
Firstly pension is already earned; it is not given or a granted item by a government. Earned pension is a corollary to remuneration pacakage. Therefore this attempt by the bureaucracy to divide the serving and the retired must be countered.
