CaMoFLaGeD, army rules... dictates that 1. u fight till the ammo runs out 2. till u die 3. never surrender ur weapon. these ppl are "bhagodas" i.e. who deserted and 2 of their fellow soldiers died. Based on that, they betrayed their fellow soldiers to save their own skin... i.e. they ran away while the other two were killed because they were outnumbered. so they were court martialed and honorably discharged. means that they can work in other govt. service.. If i know NA, for similar instances, ppl were discharged such that cud never ever get any govt. service. how can u expect ur soldiers to run away from the battle ground and leave ur comrades to die. they do not deserve to be there. just my 2 cents...
