THE FREE BEES THE DEFENDERS OF THE NATION GIVE TO IT

Defenders of a Nation, the world over, not just in dictatorships, are compensated abundantly, not only with pelf but with an incessant shower of honour, dignity and most of all - Love.

While a host of people, politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen, Babas of sorts, tricksters, cheats and fraudsters, are bleeding the Nation to death, the first two are hell bent in bleeding the Nation's defenders to death, while the rest, too busy in admiring their own pyrotechnics, indifferently watch the sordid drama unfold day-in & day-out.

The never heard before shameless justification, being doled out of late, by not just those who are causing it, but even by some of us, trying to curry favour with the powers that be is, "No body asked them to be soldiers, They chose to be one of their own volition".

Shame, shame and more shame to these betrayers of the Defenders of the Nation.

One example of the free-bee the soldier gives to the Nation:

The market rate of premium for 'Normal Life Insurance' (without covering war and other risks of war and terror ops) cover of INR 1 crore is an ANNUAL premium of Rs 4000.  

What the soldier is made to pay for volunteering to be one :

Army Group Insurance Scheme charges monthly insurance premiumfor a sum assured of 50 lakhs and 25 lakhs for Officers & JCOs respectively as follows : -

(a)    Officers         -    Rs 5000 

(b)    JCOs              -    Rs 2500 

(Deducted from their salaries.)

The premium paid by soldiers is about 220% higher than normal due to the additional war and terror risks. Govt does not subsidize  a penny, because the soldier chose to be one on their own volition, so must not only risk their lives for the Country as part of their self-chosen jobs, but also pay in cash for doing so. Is that clear my dear Dr Watson?

The salaries of the officers who are posted to HQ AGIF to manage these activities are again paid from corpus raised from the salaries and not by the Govt. (The money is refunded to CDAs by AGIF). 

In democracies around the world, every soldier is insured regardless of rank for a monthly premium of 27 dollars for a huge sum assured ($ 4 lakh for US soldiers) at govt expense. 

SO YOU THOUGHT EVERYTHING IS FREE IN ARMED FORCES....

WELL, YOU ARE VERY RIGHT ...

THE LIVES PROTECTING YOU ARE FREE.....

EVERYTHING IS FREE IN THE ARMED FORCES....

THE SOLDIERS DIE FOR FREE
