Why do we need the army anyway? To fight against China or India? to protect Monarchy? to make kathmandu demo free city? Nepal is not even in a position to take care of Maoist problem in own country. You can recruit them for building road in Humla , Jumla or making malamchi tunnel. What are they doing whole day in Barracks. Playing cards.Going around kathmandu in evening in civil dress and catching student leaders and dismantle demos in Asontole, Kamaladi, Baneswor. I read sometime ago that RNA is going to Real state business. Our budget doest not depend on UN peace keeping troop. Our budget depends on manpower recruit in arabian countries. Rastra Bank Revenue from Nepali in Arab in 2004 was 24 Arab Rupees. Where as a nepali peace keeping troop brings 10,000 - 15000 US $ per person a year. 40,000 US $ in case of death from insurance not from UN. They are up to 100 to 250 Solders sent to wear Blue helmets in 12 Months. You can calculate how much you make from UN.
