#1 1.065 billion people. That's a small army.
China has about the same population (1.3 billion), but 6 million strong army.

#2 Yeah, we need more of those short skirt commissioned officers, too.

#3 Between India and China, there is expected to be 25 million or so "extra" males, with no hope of employment, or, because of slanted demographics, a chance of ever getting married. So unless some disease like the Spanish Flu, which primarilly killed young men, comes along, there is gonna be a heap of trouble. Maybe if they fought a nice, extended, low tech trench warfare war?

#4 Reading stuff like this just makes me happy that i live in a society where i get to make my own choices regarding my life.
I don't feel sorry for that girl at all, nor the millions of other Muslims around the world.

Sympathy towards Muslims & Islam is something that i am not compatible with & never will be.

Its not our fault they live in such a shit infested hell hole, ruled by retarded Sharia Laws that revolve around a pathetic religion known as Islam.

We've tried to help the Muslims countless numbers of times in the past and they just keep spitting in our faces.

Let their deaths be their freedom.

#6 The lure of high paying (for India) call center and other foreign company jobs is probably cutting into the college educated men who might have considered a military career in India.
