I didnt say laying off army. I said transfering the resources to other things that the country needs the most. Like teaching, training, skilled workers such as carpentry, iron work, construction and such. Foriegn empoyment. I was talking about transfering ppl not laying ppl off. And those lower level armies will be better off doing these things cos the pay in army is not that great anyways. It should be a gradual transformation. may be in 4 - 5 years we can transfer all the army to other jobs most of them to foriegn employment. Foriegn employment is great. It brings foriegn currency in and leaves job at home for the ones who can go abroad. I am not supporting prachanda's views. If prachand happens to agree with my views, then i dont really care. Its just a view. Let me state this again. I want this to happen once the Maoist problem is taken care of in nepal. Taken care of as in, once CA is established, Once maoists are disarmed and once a complete maoists issue is resolved. I dont want the army to be reduced before the PLA is taken care of. I dont mind UN assistance in helping PLA and NA settle things out. So this is my view , im not here to facilitate maoists propoganda.
