i totally understand ur saying brother n agree with u, being bhanja myself, my dad served for ninteen years in queens gurkha signal and retired as staff sergeant he never persuaded me to join the force but supported me in every possible way to get higher studies.  it would not hav been this easy; financially, if he had not served in the gurkha. so, tides r turning too, they r making intellectual investment for thier next generations. i say it is an opportunity for many youths with exception of wat u hav mentioned. if it was possible to sustain a quality life in our country, hell no, no one would hav joind foreign army n fight war that means nothing to that individuals. but the things u hav mentioned, i hav solidarity brother. still they deserve respect.
