Yes, there is more than money to life. There is even, maybe, more than eating to life.
When we have a perfect nation in the U.S. we can then explain to the Indians how to improve their lot.
I, too, wish that money was never spent on armament, but that is not the world we live in. We all would be better off with less military spending, the U.S. as much as India. But the U.S., to a substantial degree, is a force behind worldwide military build-up. Americans often think that we should be stronger than everyone, because we shall never do wrong with this might. Others don't need any kind of parity, because we are not a threat!! Remember Panama, Dominican Republic, Vietnam, Korea and on and on and on.
What is India's military spending per capita and as % of GDP, versus the U.S., I wonder? |
