Irrational Bias

Are the sacrifices made by the soldiers during peace time less than those made in the war time? At least the Indian Government feels so. The compensation paid by the government to the families of the soldiers who die or get injured during peacetime is much less than those who die in a war. This discrimination done against a group of soldiers can lower the morale of the men in uniform.

Today when the army is finding it hard to attract people to join the forces, these irrational policies will scare away the potential aspirants.
