  1. We need a damm sight more than 72500 soldiers then! the Army is now smaller than it was at the time of Waterloo while I bet our Indian PM already has his next job lined up at Goldman Sachs!

  2. Big deal, the RAF has only 6 frontline squadrons and the RN 19 major surface units. Putin has an army of over 1 million, not counting reserves. India??? you are of course joking, they are the biggest customer for Russian arms and oil, they didn't even condemn them at the UN! @nameisbad

  3. The hard fact is that until we get politicians (and the public!) to understand that defence is the No. 1 priority it will not change, the "guns or butter" argument of the 30's is an example. We either want fighting forces or "social workers in uniform" and hope that the Americans will defend us and if Trump wins I wouldn't bet on it! @xclonejager6959
