[dog123]

Needed to have been done much earlier. It's been 15 years after the war and we have not even begun to restructure our military.
Need to be done for our bloated govt service as well.

Sri Lanka to slash military by a third to cut costs​

13 Jan 2023: Sri Lanka will drastically slash its military, the Ministry of Defence has announced, as the country tries to cut costs in the face of its worst economic crisis in decades.
The bankrupt nation will cut the number of army personnel by a third to 135,000 by next year and 100,000 by 2030, the state minister of defence said on Friday as the government works to overhaul its finances.
“Military spending is basically state-borne expenditure which indirectly stimulates and opens avenues for economic growth by way of assuring national and human security,” Premitha Bandara Thennakoon said in a statement.
