That's my point - do we need it.
I'm not saying do away with the military. I wouldn't be living on earth if I said that. What im asking is Malaysia acquiring the right equipment. It seems to me we are upgrading in small steps in all services. Isn't that like being a jack of all trades, master at none?
Im thinking in the line of a wall of air defense systems & highly effective anti ship weapons. Wouldn't it be better to hv more units with defensive combat effectiveness than just a few with offensive capability which probably be matched by the other side anyway. Lets hv bigger shields rather than sharper spears. We are for peace are we not?
I just want to sleep sounder knowing my goverment is spending in the right direction.
