India to Approve Troop Buildup on China Border

[Vikrant]

India is expected to raise 40,000 troops with offensive capabilities to counter China on the line of actual control.

India’s Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) is expected to approve a proposal to deploy 40,000 additional troops along the 4,057-km line of actual control (LAC) that acts as the border between China and India, the Times of India reported Saturday morning.

“The Army has proposed a mountain strike corps, two independent infantry brigades and two independent armored brigades to plug its operational gaps along the entire line of actual control (LAC) with China, as well as to acquire offensive capabilities,” the newspaper report said.

They should deploy "ghost armies" like we did in WWII...

^ That reminds me of a Steve McQueen movie called Hell Is For Heroes. This is based on true story of an American squad which was tasked to hold off an entire German company during World War II.

That's great! Now India can create it own DMZ with China. Think about how many jobs that will create.

THEN, India can open up a "Joint Manufacturing Facility" in China to import cheap, slave labor goods like South Korea does with the North.

Then of course, they'll need India State Media to report false stories about how invasion from China is imminent, sorta like how the US media does with the fake Al Qaida.

Good to see our influence spreading around the world. U-S-A! U-S-A!
