So... Uhh. Guys..
Is there any way to make the government consider arming and settling us like Israelis? Or any other program which allows us to gain an equal footing?
I know I sound retarded...
That's because I am.
Still.
Militias are a dimension of warfare which India is ignoring at it's own peril. China uses them in maritime subversion, so does Pakistan. We must play this game on an equal footing.
Money doesn't matter in this game.
No one's gonna ask for pension or reparations either. Some might not even want a salary.
It's a good compromise of quantity over quality (and rules of engagement :3).
Later on, they can be pit against naxals as well.
I know, I knowww, wayyy too far fetched but...
Look, it's like a girl doing it for the first time. You have to deal with her quirks, her various dramas, the insecurity born out of Savdhan India, some initial outrage and nervousness when you get it on, and you can't go too fast either. Let's not even talk about the hullaboo in the aftermath, especially if outsiders from the society come to know of it. Once it's done though, the second time ain't so bad.
Or the third.
Or the thirteenth.
