  1. Personally I think giving everyone an iphone is missing the point of infantry, and strapping it on the chest is a poor choice - no more "prone position down". Integrate it into the weapons system. Buying another 5.56 weapon is a bizarre choice when 6.8mm is the future NATO round. Glad I left when I did before Virtus too.

  2.  @splatoonistproductions5345  I'm not saying the army wants such few numbers. I'm saying the politicians don't care, because ultimately we have nukes and we're a maritime power. Our army is only fit of limited interventions such as peacekeeping or counterterrorism, no politician is planning a war.

  4. The point of all this gear is that they can reduce down even further from 33 battalions. They want 10,000 soldiers not 90,000.

  5.  @splatoonistproductions5345 I'm not saying what I think, I'm saying what's actually going on. The army's numbers have been cut in every review since the 90's.
