The Afghanistan border posts should resemble the North Korea, South Korea border or the Cold War Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin.
We should also do away with the "Wagah clown show",
China, Myanmar and Bangladesh have border posts with India and there are no "clown shows". We also don't have our "clown shows" with China, Iran and Afghanistan. Why must we emulate the monkeys on our eastern border?
Also, it is time to do away with the March 23 parades; or at least simplify it. A really powerful army doesn't need to strut and display its weapons. In fact a representative peoples army only uses these parades on rare occasions to make an outreach to the people of their nation, They are the husbands wives. daughters, brothers, and sisters of the people they are defending. A truly representative army CONNECTS with its people that it protects.
The 250th US Army day parade was an eye opener. The powerful Abrams M1A2 tank crew members waived to the crowds with cheers and thunderous applause, A truly impressive and emotionally moving sight !
