Re: Armed forces being upgraded: Gen Musharraf
seems like another convenient excuse to divert yet more of the Federal money away from more important issues. It's a pity that Pakistan spends 35-40% of it's federal budget on defence and a mere 1-2% on health and education.
How does $4.4 billion for defence spending out of $25 billion (2006 budget) come to 35-40% of the total?
And you do realise, over a million people's jobs depend on defence?
