So excuse me for finding faults with Your Logic.

The government is utterly weak. We just formed it. Refusing to accept help is foolish at best.



Acknowledged but i believe setting the stage for intervenationalism is a dangerous practice; This prior exposure to Martial Law as i said would provide not only an excuse for not forming a Military Based upon prior assosiation with a foreign Military. As Reality has shown Puppet Nations rarely form Militaries or rather their Militaries rarely are well formed.

I believe allowing ourselves to be cowed in this manner will damage future independent ventures.

Hence why i disagreed with Foreign Military Presence; Even if it would fit some one's version of National "History" Better.

There, I would disagree. We must train our own forces not rely on foreign army training our forces.


If, being a former British colony, our forces were made up of Aurentian soldiers who had served with the Brits then we wouldn't need to have them trained. They'd already be trained and equipped. We just need to convince them they belong with us and organise them.

How do we train them? We have never had an army so we don't know what to do! and how to do it! We need help. The British army has some of the best training colleges in the world we should learn how they do things from them.

Hire retired military generals from foreign nations and hire military experts with highest qualifications to train the troops.

Yea, that is also possibility. When India was formed, British left Indian troops in the country.

Then, our army will have tactics of just the British. Furthermore, that means we will owe United Kingdom something. Hiring retired generals and military experts gives us mix military tradition, and makes our army independent.

Sorry, leave my history out of it for a second, just take the pure scenario:

We used to be a British colony, but after a late 2012 referendum have been granted full independence. British soldiers are enforcing regular law, not martial law just regular, as the government organises a police force and defence forces.

Those countries were all based with little infastructure or means to form their own army and create an economy. Hopefully, we have those means. You want us to have those means, right?

So you wish for the nation to allow foreigners with no ties to the nation free reign over our armed forces? That is simply asking for a coup.

The British army is a fine institution that many of the worlds armed forces are based on. It is an army that built the largest empire the world has ever seen. Our army will be independent your pride is not a good thing to have when considering national security. We don't owe them anything. They used to own us. They leave but before the leave they help us react a level where we can fend for ourselves.

We hire foreign retired generals and military experts, we do not give them free reign. Ministry of defence overlooks their every actions and they are just few men, they wont be couping the nation any time soon.
