Dear Mr. Menezes, I suppose these army transport drivers have insurance should they hit any vehicle?
Way back in 1968 in Margao, a military truck knocked my parent's parked vehicle, and they just moved off without any communication whatsoever, after a few minutes of staring at us. Is this the way the military try to "endear" themselves with the locals? Thanks anyway, for letting us know that the military do pay the Govt for their private services. However, an explanation to the above is required, in view that there was a recent civilian death involving a military vehicle. And please note that Philip was by no means saying that the military get "free" transport. If we have little or no knowledge about the armed forces (and you appear to have plenty), it would be good that from time to time, you could take a hand in explaining without "covering up" the facts.
