Defence must be more adaptable, able to respond quickly to the changes in the security environment and the character of conflict.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For security you need more soldiers, you need more policemen, you need more vehicles, you need more planes, you need more guns, you need more communications.
For example, computer defends well, but for humans its is harder to defend than attack, particularly with the modern time control.
If you are going to have to play defense all the time, you cannot have the kind of ingenuity, assertiveness, independence, and intelligence which is what has made our country strong.
The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without.
Disarmament or limitation of armaments, which depends on the progress made on security, also contributes to the maintenance of peace.
It is frightening that in recent years such an increase has occurred in acts of terrorism, which have even reached peaceful countries such as ours. And as a 'remedy', more and more security forces are established to protect the lives of individual men and women.
Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.
There is always more spirit in attack than in defence.
Secondly, security. Both the challenges we face in the world and the responsibilities that our country has in protecting our people, are major issues. We need to do more in the context of domestic security.
In situations of military conflict, civil strife, lawlessness, bad governance, and human rights violations, terrorists find it easier to hide, train and prepare their attacks.
