What are we doing about the military?
DEAR EDITOR,
Although I am a pacifist I do see the need for the necessity of a military force.
We are not going to have the biggest or strongest military in the world.
But, we can have a better equipped and more manpower in the military.
This is not to threaten our neighbours as we are utilizing the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in resolving Venezuela’s claim on our Essequibo County.
It is about stability of Guyana and Regional stability.
We need an operationalized military of about 10,000 personnel.
We’re not militarising The State just having a military that would act as a deterrent.
Yours faithfully,
Sean Ori
