Visit any army base and see for yourself.

    In this case I blame the fat cat generals who know nothing about discipline themselves and even less about leading men into battle.
    Which base was this?
    Only stress when you can change the outcome!

    This happened when the ex troopers were supposed to register for their "pensions".

    Surely this would change.

    This happened last year and was confirmed by the colonel that troops do not salute officers. I don't know if it is only this particular base. If you see troops walking in the street with a coke in the one hand and a cigarette in the other, with total disregard for their uniform, it is believeable.
