  2. So about half the original order and I bet the first ones will be out of service before the last ones arrive. 6 front line fighter squadrons is pathetic. @Orbital_Inclination

Did you know the Army at 72500 soldiers is smaller than it was at the time of Waterloo? @Orbital_Inclination

  5. You have obviously never served in the armed forces have you? I did 17 yrs in the British Army so I know what I'm talking about. At the time of Waterloo our population was 6-8 million, a tenth of what it is now, you want freedom you have to be prepared to defend it or do you think people like Putin listen to reason? @Orbital_Inclination

  7. Gone completely "woke", no wonder they have so few planes! so what rank were you? You have answered any of my points so it is a valid question, for example have you done Staff College? @Orbital_Inclination

  8. A utopian ideology that groups individuals into incoherent groups and makes everyone equal at the expense of individual freedom (Douglas Murray thus the RAF won't recruit "useless, white, male pilots". I have a letter from the last CoAS on the subject. @Orbital_Inclination
