how to destroy an army, UPA style

simple: don't budget enough money to buy the stuff you need

and put all the money into hare-brained schemes like nrega, rte, 6th pay commission, farm loan waiver etc.

guns vs. butter. india has traditionally been bad at this, but the butter is also being stolen by the rulers (that was not the case in the past).

this is pretty close to treason, esp as china keeps hiking its defence budget by 15% a year
