The Inflated Army

The "Inflated Army" refers to a military force where the number of personnel exceeds the country's actual defense needs, often due to political, economic, or social reasons. This excess can lead to inefficiencies, increased costs, and challenges in maintaining discipline and morale. It may result from government policies, favoritism, or attempts to show strength, but it often does not translate into better defense capabilities. Essentially, it’s an army larger than necessary, which can strain resources and distract from strategic priorities.
