The general public is made to believe that the defence budgetary allocation and the ‘internal economy’ are a small price to pay for guaranteeing security. Threats are often consciously projected to justify spending on the military.As does the pakistani armed forces in their constant need of showing India as if they're just about to invade and destroy us, as if Indra Gandhi couldn't have done this when Indian Army was in Bangladesh and whence she was given a proposal by the chief of the Indian armed forces to do so but she declined, called a meeting of her cabinet and convinced everyone to vote against this proposal. As if the fastest growing economy on the planet for the buerocrats the rich and the technocrats of the country would ever let perfom an action like this that could put Indias position on the world stage in jeopardy, they gain today by showing Kashmir as a disputed territory originally belonging to them but infading pakistan is an illegal act that sould shun their position on the world stage.

The senior generals (both serving and retired) are the primary beneficiaries of the internal economy. The whole economic process of benefits is structured in such a manner that those at top received the bulk. So Milbus cannot be held as benign financial compensation to the guardians of the state’s frontiers.
