Whoo-hoo! Baktrians have no need for ethnic tension, for we use whatever peoples we come across in our conquests...

Well, with the AI insanely attacking you from everywhere the problem is that there is not really time to ship the veterans home and back.

I remember one game I managed it on M/M, but the current game is VH/H and I too find myself with about a third of each and most of my Camillan Troops (it is 211 BC and I run pure Camillan Army still, no time to ship them home and exchange them) have silver and gold chevrons, but are all 10- 50% strength.
