I agree defense is a necessary evil. But do not glorify it. The real threat to the security of nations is the high levels of poverty and illiteracy. Politicians are able to involve even peace loving people in to wars. Cross your heart and answer this question. Given the choice between a plum MNC job and fighting on the border, which one would you prefer? Why should we send hapless people to war fronts and get them killed? Yes we need defense. But more important is to eliminate poverty and illiteracy not only in our own country but in the world around. No amount of arms can provide security in a world of poverty and illiteracy.
