Yeap 69 is definitly not that bad wen we coempear the size of our land

You guys are missing the point here. We shouldn't be proud of our expenditure... a small nation like ours doesn't have to have that big of a military budget. Hopefully we can get rid of the ltte dogs and use the money for the betterment of the country.

I thought it was how many hospitals, doctors, engineers a country has... how good the roads are... how good the trasportation, communication systems are... what the literacy rate is... how high the GDP is.

I kind of understand your saying about a country needing a strong military but look at our neighbours.... unless maldives or nepal decides to invade us, we can't stop anyone else. So I believe it's better to use the money to better the infrastucture of the country. then people can produce more and then we can think about spending more on the military. Just my two cents

Ahh mchan never underestimate the need for a military. Its not just abt raw military power its also abt military tactics.

Just a reminder that Sri Lanka once invaded the whole of South India a long long time ago. And i beliv that if we had a strong military we wldnt hav sucumbed 2 de english.

My point exactly.. the tactics can't be developed by spending money on weapons. That comes from education and for that we need better schools and better teachers.

Well it was the technology and the bastard locals who supported the English that made us lose. They had guns and we didn't. And some of the locals betrayed the country. Just like some politician must be gatting a percentage of that 600 million wea re spending. Oh well.... can't kill them all :D

And Sridanu about us invading South India... that happened in a time where wars were decided by the paople who fought the battles not by long range artilary and stealth bombers. How much do you think we have spentd before we can even think about challenging India.
