The views expressed are utopian. THe armed forces are not merely involved in fighting wars. They are called to assist the civil administration in times of natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, tsunami, etc. Our army has so often been called to maintain peace during uncontrolled rioting. Please remember our politicial establishment is responsible for the poverty and deaths due to starvation. If resources are diverted for social causes it may very well end up in the pockets of politicians.
