The formation of the committee on providing employment to ex-military personnel is good, but it will only gain public support if it is implemented to ensure real benefits on the ground; if the situation of the military personnel on the bottom was inquired, what kinds of conditions were occurring could be learnt, pointed out those close to the military community.
