          As someone said "Peace could be achieved with a barrel of a gun".

          If you think of this issue deeply, you will come across some questions I your mind.   What is the price of your freedom? What is the price of your safety and dignity of you and your loved ones? You just cant it into figures, can you?

        Whatever freedom we enjoy in this world is because we are "FREE", because of our armed forces that protect our borders with their lives at stake. We all owe them.

         But power, military or political, can be dangerous if in wrong hands. So, it too has to be balanced, by governing bodies.

           Many think that without armies, the world would be a better place. Well, in my opinion, there will be nothing as such...

                I disagree with both of you. If there were no armies in the world then there would be peace. Well if you see at a global level; no armies, no boundaries, no countries, only one world. The world will be bursting out of its seams of nationalization and liberalization will take center stage. People will interact more and there will be free trade policies. When your wish of no armies is fulfilled then more constructive policies will emerge for betterment of mankind as a whole.

                Dear faraz, according to you at a global level, we can think of a situation where thr is no army, no boundary, and no country. But faraz reality tells us to count from the opposite side. I.e. it’s because of countries and their boundaries, we need armies. And we can't ignore the importance of having well defined boundaries, as it is said,” Good fencing makes good relation". Now, u was talking about having one world, but I think it is always better to have small pieces of everything as then they can be looked after well.  Just as we always break a large complicated program code into smaller modules.

            Now comes the question of defense budget and war. Obviously to maintain an army we are to spend a portion of our wealth and I think it’s worth it. Its nothing but a part and parcel of any country. And regarding wars, I think it’s the authorities that are interested in wars or in waging weapons. And its not because armies are there, there is war. The truth is "as war is there the authorities employ the armies".

Hello frnds,

              Yes even I agree with arunabha, it is not necessary that if their is no army there will be peace whatever we are today it is cos of army, to protect us they sacrificed their lives.

        Army is the heart of the nation and life of the nation...I am very proud of them. Army is fighting with terrorism they are the main reason who are controlling terrorism till some extent.

        Hats off to u army...
