@devinjonathan5681 No, GB. We have had 13 years of a government that has cut our defence to the bone, we barely meet the NATO minimum of 2% GDP while the USA spend about 4.5%. Thank you for your support, I was lucky enough to do exchange training with 11 SFG, a great time and made some good friends.

@devinjonathan5681 Thank you, I served for 17 yrs in the British Army and was lucky enough to do exchange training with 11 SFG, a great bunch of guys. If the politicians had to fight the wars they would not be so keen on cuts but I'm still ashamed that no senior officer has resigned in protest. Check a 1956 film 'Dunkirk', a comment is made by a soldier on the beach about how we got in the mess, the reply "It was a choice of guns or butter, they chose guns, we chose butter". Happy (belated) Independence Day.

Given that the UK has about 40 battle ready MBTs I hope they are not relying on us for too much??

@RogerPalmer-pi9yb The Parliamentary Select committee on Defence during questioning of Radakin. Mind you it could be "made up" like the Challenger 3 upgrades, 148 scheduled and they will all be ready by 2030, I do hope Putin isn't in a hurry to invade anywhere else!
