Even in the current context, we should debate whether we need to invest more in the Defence Forces. We should do so with a clear decision in advance as to where we are going. In a sense, we must decide what is our niche and what we are good at. We will never be able to provide thousands of troops and significant amounts of armaments with a view to engaging in offensive or even defensive combat anywhere. The evidence suggests that we have the sort of good interpersonal skills that are required for peacekeeping and peace enforcement. I am not the first person to say this and I believe it forms part of the White Paper on Defence. If we are to go down the road of mutual defence and greater engagement with this issue, we must invest further in a capacity that will allow us to do what we seem to be good at, namely, peacekeeping and peace enforcement.
