Not really the same thing, the per capita GDP of the US is vastly higher than India.

A lot of that homeless could be solved with more equal wealth distribution.

30:1 between US and India according to google (not accounting for PPP).

The argument I was answering to was "I have seen catastrophic living conditions" thus "India should not". Of course, India needs a different approach and India has different problems. But in perspective, Indian defense imports are 100B USD and this mission costs 1.4B USD. India does not buy any missiles anymore. French Rafales cost India 5-10 B USD. This is the price India pays to be able to stand up to China in Doklam.
