Don't Use Military Prestige for Partisan Politics, Veteran Argues

Don't Use Military Prestige for Partisan Politics, Veteran Argues

People who used to be soldiers sometimes join political events.

That is allowed, and they can share their opinions like everyone else.

But some retired soldiers wear their old uniforms and medals at political rallies and TV debates.

This article says that can be a problem for the country.

People might think the whole army supports one political team.

In America, retired soldiers usually leave military symbols out of political campaigns.

In India, wearing military clothes at political events is becoming more common.

A retired army leader named Bhopinder Singh wrote this article to warn about this.

He says soldiers must stay neutral and protect all citizens, no matter which team leads the country.
