Kekuatan Militer Indonesia No.13 di Dunia

Seringkali, kita merasa kecil dan tidak mampu jika mengingat kekuatan persenjataan militer kita. Lihat saja komentar-komentar yang muncul ketika ada konflik di Ambalat, dll. Ada yang nyinyir menyindir peralatan militer kita, dll. Lucunya, justru ada pihak lain yang justru mengukur dari sisi lain. Alhasil, menurut versi Global Fire Power, Indonesia menduduki peringkat ke 13 kekuatan militer dunia. Jauh diatas Australia (21), Thailand (23), Philipines (30) atah bahkan Iraq (34).
