Can you name me friendly countries India has or ever had ? What the hell Japan had to do when they bombed pearl harbour?
How many of you know that 5 months before Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt ordered the US Navy to bomb Axis naval fleets. Japan was provoked. Pearl Harbor gave Roosevelt to go to war in a time when a majority of Americans wanted to stay out of it.
Pseudo economists think that every aspect of human life is nothing but simple economic activity. Hope you know why India lost 200 years of economic development ? Why did British took over Indian states one by one and colonised half of the world by military power?
I will be posting the link to the research paper that I read in an Economic journal. Every nation in the history of Mankind, whether a Dictatorship, a Democratic Republic or a Monarchy has had an elite aristocratic class.
In a mercantilist society like the old Great Britain and the New America, the elite aristocracy runs an entire nation. They raise monstrously huge Armies that are funded by taxes pitched in by a hard working middle class. The Armies are also staffed by the children of the poor and the middle class, who are mere cannon fodder. The poor and the middle class are fooled into believing that it is patriotic to support the government's military adventures. Thus Great Britain's colonist wars were pulled off as successful scams for over 200 years. The same can be seen in terms of American military bases in over a 100 countries.
Once the colonization is over, the spoils of war are split among the governing elite aristocrats. Does Haliburton and numerous other oil companies ring a bell in your minds?
Now, do not say that India doesnt do any of this dirty business. But, if we increase our military spending we are definitely headed the same way Great Britain and America went.
How many of you think that America will be the world's superpower forever? I think it will cease to be the case the day Americans wake up and stop funding such foolish government endeavors or sending their children to be the cannon fodder.
By the way, I have a question for Chautala and CM Hooda? Why didn't they send their own children to serve in the military? Isnt it patriotic to serve the country? Why did they push their own children into Politics. CM Hooda went a step further by recalling his son from a decent private sector job in the US to make him the next MP of Rohtak.
Now, I know all the brown-noses and undercover subverts of both Political camps will throw dirt on me. Why not just stick to the real issues here.
No nation can develop economically unless they have sound defence. Ofcourse one needs intelligent rulars also and defence alone can not solve all the ills of a nation. Like a balanced human body, nation also needs to be balanced with a right mix of everything. like weak animals are nothing but fodders of stronger ones, weak nations also serve the same purpose. India has to maintain a very strong defence, else we will be broken into pieces once again.
I strongly believe that all nations altogether need to get rid of their military capabilities entirely. This includes India, Pakistan and ofcourse the "permanent 5 Gang" of the Security council.
Security from radical insurgents could be done privately. There are several companies in this business in Iraq. So far their record is much impressive than the US army. They have lost around 11 contractors in nearly 4 years. Not even one of the clients that they protect have been hurt. There is an immense market for private security, if the government gives up its monopoly in this domain. This market includes average ordinary citizens who are forced to rely on government alternatives because of the unfair monopoly that the government holds making it impossible for the markets to determine the fair price of private security.
Will the governments world over give up their standing Military capabilities? The answer is No. Because people like you will support this foolishness from cradle to grave and discredit people like me who want to propose alternatives; at any cost.
Can the governments world over be forced to give up their Military Capabilities? Yes. We must abstain from sending our children to the military. If the government imposes a draft. We must oppose the draft. We must try to find ways to hide our taxes so that we can run the government's treasury dry. We must not support the murder of another human being by another human being in uniform issued by the government and funded by our tax money.
Needless to mention we need strong economy also to support of defence budget.

We need a strong economy to improve our standard of living. We have a lot of important issues at hand that we need to think about like: female foeticide, dowry, rape and molestation of our girls, ample resources for our farmers, an unregulated market for their produce that gives them the best incentive and idea to decide what they need to grow in their next crop, improve the standard of education for our children etc. etc.
The government has failed at all these aspects. Every politician runs on a platform to resolve these issues, but for the past 60 years has only made it worse. Female children are being murdered, brides are being immolated over dowry, girls are being raped, and government provided education has been where it was when the British left.
And you are talking about our next generation to become the government's cannon fodder. Those who are spared of this abuse, according to you should boost our economy so that we can improve the quality of our cannon fodder.
Some say that there is no market for national defense. Yes! I agree with it. The reason is that markets are the barometers of efficiency. Markets accept what creates utility and markets reject what retards efficiency.
That is the reasons markets would never support huge standing armies. But markets will definitely provide solutions for private security. They will ensure that your women are safe from predators. Your children get the best education to achieve their goals. Markets will ensure that our farmers get the requisite resources as and when they need them. Markets will ensure the best price for their produce, and thus increasing the prosperity of the region that feeds an entire nation. I am talking about the bread basket of India: Haryana and Punjab.
I read threads about people suggesting that the government needs to set up ministries for immigration to assist our youth escape to the developed, and fairly economically free west.
Why cant we replicate the west's formula for prosperity in our own country and thus retain our precious and promising youth that can do the same wonders to our country that it can do to the west.
I am not talking about a total blanket on immigration. Free markets will decide what place is better for a person. A person who can contribute the best as a farmer would be a farmer. A person who can contribute the best as a software engineer will be a software engineer. And so on.
In another thread I picked on Deepender Hooda for picking on a state iisue that was beyong his legislation. But, people picked on me for picking on Deepender. They justified his error. Why?
Why are we so subservient towards the most inefficient parasites of all human beings? Kalkhande Sir! its all your fault. And it is the fault of people of your generation who told the people of my generation to respect authority.
Truly said: Jiski Lathi Uski Bhains.
I dont believe in it. I think that it is the moral responsibility of every human being to defy authority. We must respect only what is in our best interest. And it is always in our best interest to have the right to decide how we spend our wealth in order to maximize our welfare. Government alternatives do not allow us this right. Private alternatives do.
I do not want an India with long range missiles topped with nuclear warheads that will kill someone just like me, 10000 miles away. Someone whose only ambition in life is to improve it. To care and provide for his or her loved ones. Trust me, this is what most people in Pakistan think every morning they wake up.
