Politicians want to create the impression that the died army men are great because it benefits them in many ways
- They get to spend more on security. This will lead to more kickbacks.
- They get to increase taxes under the guise of national security.
- Anyone opposing the politicians is branded as as traitor; so it suppresses mutiny.
Who joins the army? Does the normal army person has so great a love for the country, that he is willing to sacrifice his life? The answer is No.
- Most people who join the army are jobless.
- They don't have a good family business or family income.
- They are relatively uneducated or less educated.
- They know that most people who join the army come back alive i.e. more than 99%. So army is the best job that they can find.
A person, who works a normal office job or business in private (not government) sector, does more for his country than most army man, because his taxes pay for the salary and equipment of army men.
