The need for more police is irrelevant to the need for a citizen army.
Don't be stupid. Are you reading just what you want to? Where did I say anything about hesitating to defend my country. I am saying that instead of a militia as in the old GPM, just let them be a part of the GDF and I said what we need even more is stronger policing. A citizen army is more important than the safety of the citizens themselves?
I must be stupid because I could swear you wrote this: "When you have basically one race and one religion, it's easy to have a citizen army. When you have a division as in Guyana's case it's different." This is one of your reasons for objecting to the GPM or did your fingers just type without your brain's knowledge?
Again... because I'm stupid, the need for stronger policing is irrelevant to the need for a citizen army.
AGREED. I absolutely did write that. It means when you have a homogeneous population with different ideologies but same race, it's easier to put them together in a citizen army. Have you forgotten the disparity in race in the GDF and the former GPM. The only place where it was more representative of the population was the GNS and that's because it was mandatory. You still haven't explained the difference between the militia and a reservist arm of the GDF and how it will be more cost effective.
So I'm not stupid? Thank you so much.
The disparity in Guyana's military is politically driven and not representative of the camaraderie existing despite racial differences. If this is your objection to the GPM, why have a national army, police, or any national organization, military or civilian?
