OROP: White lies and Half truths

In a mail to fellow veterans, Col Balakrishnan says the men in uniform, due to constraints of discipline, can't come out with truths against the government. And, the ex-servicemen are spread thinly all over the country, without any central organisation to speak of.

Nothing can be further from the truth. I shall just high light a few points, since typing with five thumbs is a problem for me...
