What's The Armed Forces And What Function Should It Serve?

The phrase Military Defence has a broad discipline but very specific applications as well. The term "military" or "defence" can be utilized in an individual sense in respect of a single soldier and what strategies the individual soldier takes to defend himself akin to; carrying protective tools, using armaments or constructing protection similar to a digging a trench or a foxhole. Defence is essentially a term used when describing a army unit's defensive techniques when working towards an opposing forces offensive, maybe by searching for to circumnavigate the enemy place, delay an enemy assault or to wage a warfare of attrition whereby the enemy will lose numbers ultimately allowing the defensive pressure to form a defensive position or perform an offensive maneuver.

In military operations planning, a defensive strategy is the coverage of preventing an attack, or minimizing the harm of an assault, by the forces assuming protection in strategic depth for stopping an enemy from conquering territory. Inside the scope of a nationwide defense policy, defense is used to incorporate most army issues. Defence tactics are employed by international locations for numerous reasons. For instance, an excellent instance of using defensive strategy tactics can be seen when used in opposition to American soldiers within the Vietnam Conflict.

Today's Military Videos don't really tell half the story. By way of smaller mobile guerrilla forces the Vietcong waged a warfare on the assets of the American soldiers, which included destroying supplies and provide routes. Additionally they used the People sources when producing booby traps, including discarded objects such as tin cans in addition to unexploded bombs which they'd gather and use for mines. Ultimately the efforts of the smaller cell defensive guerrillas brought on such an effect that the main military was able to overrun the American forces with a massive attack know because the Tet Offensive.

Nowhere is this instance extra outlined than in the Cold War stand offs of the mid to late twentieth century. One particular example of this is the Cuban Missile Crisis which concerned the US and the Soviet Union in 1962. The Soviet and Cuban authorities had placed nuclear weapons on Cuba as seen by American reconnaissance planes and, with the strain between the 2 countries already palpable, a standoff ensued with the 'very real' risk of a nuclear struggle occurring. Happily diplomatic proceedings ensured that the disaster was settled comparatively amicably with the dismantling of the weaponry and a no-invasion agreement in place from the American authorities.

There are many Military Blogs on the subject. In fact, the role of military defence has been gradually shifted away from its primary role of providing security to enhancing commercial interest. With industrial growth and advancement of science and technology, the defence production led to a market oriented producer- purchaser relation between the developed and developing countries.The poor nation afflicted with conflicts became a super market for defence deals. For the powerful, military prowess which was earlier synonymous with political power has become a trademark of economic power.

The world community is already wiser and is aware of the bigger threat of survival presented by using up resources. They campaign for pooled resources through collective efforts to save mankind and the world from further depletion. History evidenced the worthless used of armed coercion. If a stick is given to a hungry man to stop him from his cry for hunger, he will roar to bite you and connive with the neighbor to cause disaster. Instead of using the resources to crush the anger, it would be wiser to use the resource to fill the hungry belly and teach the hungry man to grow crops to sustain his future needs. The resources used for military purchase can fruitfully be used for peace and development.

The political compulsions may tempt Rsu to take pride in the strength of the defence force. The military men pride themselves as the savior of the country. With due respect and regard to the defence services, I have a considered opinion to express. I think military might is an outdated notion of exalting the national self esteem. Recent history of military powers have shown the fatality of this approach. The pride of the nation is in the human asset and any nation that failed to nurture its most precious asset will lose its national pride even if it owns the most sophisticated war weapons to erase the entire human race.

Big defence budgets in the developed world may entail an economic investment return out of defence production and sale exports. But how long can this go on? For poor countries, big defence budget produces a negative return, and hits the belly of the poor as his pie is taken away with every military purchase.In the new age, the defence security trade mark will diminish as more focus is now on economic security and sustainability of the future. The creative and innovative thinking to meet the future challenges will be a supreme consideration while war weapons will be valueless in the approaching apocalypse. For instance, they might become Natural Disaster response companies, or design a Planetary Defense system to stop an incoming asteroid. It's still defense in many regards. Maybe they would go out and stop Cyclones, Hurricanes, and typhoons. The truth is, they don't care what they build really; they just get a contract and set up a project management team, make prototypes, and then manufacture. They could make day-care centers for kids or military bases, they don't care. It's like lawyers, if they cannot practice one type of law, they will try to sue you for something else. We don't live in a world where there is not some crisis to take care of. Further, I don't see nations with nukes as so bad, more I am worried about lunatic dictators, or terrorists having them. I'd rather the world didn't have nuclear weapons at all, but since so many nations do, and more will soon follow, I very much doubt any nation will get rid of them, because they will want to be able to protect themselves, against the last nation that refuses to get rid of them. Now then, my acquaintance states the obvious; In my personal library I have almost a whole row of books on the topic of nuclear proliferation, the Cold War, and many reports put forth during the Cold War by the Rand Corporation. I believe it is scary stuff, and it's quite unfortunate, but it is what it is and we must deal with it without blinders. Please consider all this and think on it. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns you may e-mail me. I will not accept e-mails from anti-nuclear power activists.
