The ADF should not be above the nation!

Comments on Paul Dibb “Conflict must remain the clear priority for ADF”, 17/01/2011, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/conflict-must-remain-the-clear-priority-for-adf/story-fn59niix-1225988987306

The UK has been reducing military spending and the US is also doing the same.

If government budget needs fixing, why shouldn't Australia be doing the same? Further, as the post indicates, military spending is growing faster than government spending.

Australia is not a superpower in the world and it cannot be. The argument as if it was is completely ignorant and arrogant.

At a time when the nation is in some sort of disaster, we should put people in priority and everyone should share some burden and pain. So shouldn't the ADF!

So let's get on with it and don't just cry foul as special interest group lobby!
