Future of Indian Army

The Indian Army has commonly been manpower intensive, which abounding avant-garde intellects abuse as a hangover from the Second or even the First World War era. But it accept to be accepted that these credible anachronisms amble on even at present, due to assertive bread-and-butter as able-bodied as operational compulsions.

At one level, the disability of the Indian Army to afford manpower is due to abridgement of assets to alter it with high-end technologies, primarily because of the about low antecedence accorded to aegis planning, and bare ability allotment. In the absence of equipment, manpower accelerated alternatives, somehow accept to abide about by default. The unsatisfactory hybridization, which created the accepted Reorganized Army Plains Infantry Division – RAPID – is a acceptable archetype of this. In this case, the bounded anatomy was bargain by a brigade, on the acceptance that manpower appropriately bargain would be replaced by force multipliers and surveillance.

Needless to say, the Army waited for these in vain, because the banking assets for the abstruse makeover were artlessly never allotted. It is to be apparent whether these difficulties will abide in approaching as well. By present indications, it seems that they would still be about for absolutely some time. At addition level, abundance and boscage area in the arctic and eastern regions accumulated with all-encompassing deployments on adverse insurgency, accustomed operational imperatives for organizations with able manpower. Here, arduous technology, admitting helpful, was not the assertive factor, and there was no acting for numbers of acquiescent ‘boots on the ground’, as American armament in Iraq are acutely acquirements the harder way. So, in New Age organizations, manpower against technology will accept to be implemented anxiously and judiciously. At present, there is an acute agitation aural the aggressive and the blow of the cardinal association on the appearance of warfare in the future, and the blazon of army appropriate to accommodated approaching threats.

Will a acceptable accepted army, even if technologically upgraded, be able to handle these if they occur? Now that the action of re-construction is already beneath way, what affectionate of an Army 2020 should appear at the end of it? How and to what admeasurement will it or can it reflect the operational compulsions of that approaching time? The acknowledgment to these and added agnate questions accept to be acutely understood, which is that Indian Army 2020 accept to absorb the basal agreement of a accepted army, and not be mutated by abolitionist doctrinal anaplasty into some affectionate of abundant constabulary. The New Army accept to acquire basal multi-role operational capabilities beyond the absolute spectrum of conflict, whether nuclear, conventional, or low intensity.

They are adjustable abundant for structured regrouping for assorted contingencies. Changes to the absolute arrangement should be alien alone afterwards accurate deliberation.

Military Casualties of World War One

The 'Great War', which began on 28 July 1914 with Austria-Hungary's declaration of war with Serbia, and which ended with the German armistice of 11 November 1918, produced a vast number of casualties and deaths - and similarly vast numbers of missing soldiers.

The precise numbers remain shrouded in the passing of time compounded by the incompleteness of available records. In the heat of action accurate records were not always kept, and where they were, these were not uncommonly lost in subsequent actions, such were the conditions of trench warfare.

Thus the figures reproduced below cannot be regarded as definitive but are a fair reflection of the scale of losses country by country.

Note too that these statistics reflect military casualties only; no reliable figures are available for civilian casualties throughout the world. Attributing civilian casualties to the effects of war is a subjective process at best; the scale of the First World War certainly resulted in an absence of even the most approximate figures for affected nations.

The Cutting Edge of History

The cutting edge of history was ushered in by the various branches of the United States Armed Forces and their keeping of the history of their respective branch, partially through the preservation of a sword. These swords remained as a legacy to the hundreds of thousands of fallen soldiers, both now and in the past and continue to be beacons of hope that keep our nation safe, happy, and well protected.

Following in true tradition of the US Military swords, their history is respected and kept alive by the attention given to them and what they symbolize. The USMS sword is one that calls for a lot of attention to the duties and sacrifices by hundreds of thousands of men and women all over. The Marines are strict and run by a rigid set of rules that govern their behavior and their outward presentation to the rest of the world. Their sword symbolizes their purity, perfection, and their solidarity.

When you think of the Army swords, you may feel slightly confused if you have not ever seen an Army saber being displayed. For two reasons this is absolutely normal. The first being it is a somewhat archaic symbol of the might and power of the Army and the second being clandestine operations are highly used in the Army. Used for teaching your students, children, etc. about the rich history with the Army, these Army swords may be able to become the missing piece that enables full interaction with those supporting the cause.

Navy swords remain sharp designs created in 1860 during the Civil War as a more fluid design built off the original created in 1841. These swords, mainly the Navy NCO cutlasses, are beautiful creations to be shared with anyone who will take an interest in such things. The Navy cutlass is a perfected creation made of steel, boasting custom plating and a variety of other characteristics to carry it to the top of the class in appearances. When it comes to identity, this sword carries a heavy burden of savage memories from long ago wars and battles that helped to shape our nation into what it has become today. These memories are what need to be kept alive by us and our future generations. By experiencing this fantastic piece of the past, we quickly become immersed in the history and and the legends that served to shape our nation to this very day.

What Happened To Our Democracy?

After the devastation of World War II the world came to realize future wars using nuclear weapons could destroy this world and a new system for providing a more peaceful and civilized existence in this world was needed, thus the United Nations was formed.

The other direction governments could take was to pursue military expansionism with nuclear weapons to ensure their defense.

Once one single country pursued this path others were forced to follow and the overall purpose of the United Nations was nullified.

Today the American people have become oppressed slaves to their military power and have been forced to give up their democratic rights and freedoms for their security.

Ben Franklin stated, once you give up your liberty and democratic rights for your security, you deserve neither. The cost the American people have had to pay for their military power is being a constant target always having to defend itself from those who wish not to be militarily dominated by the U.S. government.

The American people and their democracy has been oppressed and dominated by fear as a result of their military power and expansionism.

The United States government is now the most barbaric, brutal, and uncivilized country in the world and has been responsible for more deaths (approximately seven million people killed) then any other country since the mid 1950's.

The strange thing is the American people act shocked when someone attacks their country (911, the USS Cole, etc) and can't understand why.

We have been conditioned to believe a strong military is the best way to defend our country, but when that military power jeopardizes our security and safety because our leaders are abusing it for purposes other then to defend our country, we should not be surprised.

Being civilized and living in Peace is the sacrifice we have made for military power.

They say when you live by the sword you die by the sword and we now live totally by the sword.

There was a time when it was patriotic to defend our country and democratic way of life, which was back when our democracy was one that was by the people, for the people, and of the people.

Today, our government is corporate controlled, which means we have sacrificed our democratic rights, freedoms, security, and safety to defend a government, which is by the corporations, for the corporations, and of the corporations.

This was not part of the original deal when our democracy was formed. Nowhere in our Constitution, Declaration of Independence, or Bill of Rights does it mention the American people must yield their democracy to the corporate powers.

The reason our democracy was formed was to be self- governing and get away from totalitarian rule. The first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence states clearly the obligation to preserve our democracy rest squarely with the American people, yet the American people are so oblivious to their democratic responsibilities they have allowed their democracy to fail. A democracy is only as strong as the people who participate in it.
