The GC National Guard is announcing new/used tank purchases...

Is this army needed?

To fight whom?

Is the expenditure justified?

The only enemy is Turkey. If Turkey decides to "take" the rest of Cyprus, who can defend it? The National Guard? Realistically, we don't stand a chance at "winning" this war.

I would think downsizing the National Guard by 50% and reducing the enlistment to 1 year could prove more effective and cost efficient.

In addition, the reduction may send a message to the TC side who really worry about security.

Cyprus is a small country to sustain a National Guard of the current size. The reduced guard can always back-up the police force in emergencies and national disasters.

Acquiring offensive weapons (tanks, S300 etc) does not help the cause... the money saved can be used for much needed infrastructure and social programs instead.

Boys must have their toys. What a waste of good money. It will be make sure the Turkish Cypriots will insist on Turkish Guaranties. How dumb is that. You would think they would wait after the agreement before they buy their toys. How many steps behind are the Greek Cypriots about 10000?

What a bunch of fags. You never learnt your lessons from 1974 morons. How can you write the above crap?

Personally I could care less if the Turks erase the Arabs of Cyprus like you into the Mediterranean. The people to care about are those descended from EOKA and Grivas supporters who feel and identify as Greek. The Arabs of Cyprus, that consider Turks are their co-countrymen or brothers, that make every externalized excuse for their misfortunes, are better off extirpated. The ones that think having their own military force is a waste of effort, jeopardizing their chances in the perennially foolish negotiations with the murderous Turkish nation.

Georgios, ma eisai telia malakas re???

We are a soveriegn nation and we can't have a defence force? are you for F real??

We are not talking about attacking anyone, but we need some defence capability for gods sake.

What about all the wealth this side of the line, banks, governments, infrastructure, who will look after them?

We have an emeny ay the door, and you want us to down arms?? God some people are so stupid.

Instead of petitioning the enemy to down arms and get off our island, you seek to suggest we should pull down our trousers and bend for this stinking turks re??

Get out of my face before I really say something I may regret.

TC666= Yfuck, go fuck yourself. You'll do better on the Crap44 forum where all your little cronies will agree with you and make you feel big.

Georgios, people like you make me ashamed to be GC, its not enough we have the turks to worry about, now we got our own.

so may i enquire as to how fast you brave fascistakis will be running backwards away from mehmetcik. I fear Huseyin Bolt's hundred metre record is in serious danger. Perhaps a new 7 minute record can be achieved. Wow imagine that a Greek Cypriot soldier fastest man on earth runing backwards.

Now you can close the thread.

Never knew you were into women in uniforms, GR.

Being in the furthest outreaches of the EU, it is our duty to have the strongest military force under our control in the whole of Europe in order to protect its borders. We owe it to our French partners to have enough manpower to hold back any attacks until reinforcements arrive.

If that's not enough, have a look at Talisker's thread on the Egyptian insult and see how easily others feel they can invade our sovereign territory (let that be a lesson to them! Well done CNG )

PS ... why do you refer to it as the "GC National Guard"?

[georgios100]

After reading a few comments from war loving patriots, I still believe the CY Guard is an overkill. A 50% reduction still maintains a good size force.

I would expect this downsize to happen if the Cyprob is solved, no need to have so many soldiers & weapons.

GR & B25... take it easy! We are just examining the facts here. If you believe the Turks will attack again then why are we talking to them? Let's attack them first! Is this what you want? Just because we are majority on the island does not give us the right to "bully" the other side. We should do this first step in order to achieve peace and most importantly "trust". The TC side wants the Turkish troops to remain for their security. This might sound like a joke to us but not to them. While the Turkish troops are stationed on the island, there can not be a solution, period.

I would sit back & take a good look at this issue. In some countries like Swiss, there was a referendum to abolish the army all together but after the 9/11 events the idea was scrapped. And yeah, I know, they don't have the Turks on the fence...
