  1. Doesn't matter what you spend. The military is shrinking. Defence cheifs are not interested in their people. Hence the vast numbers leaving each year. In 20 years only four have joiners out numbered leavers. How many Squadrons and stations did we have 20+ years ago? How many ships did we have? How big was the army? Alas the next war will be conscription. As the uk cannot afford to throw its experience at the guns. All useless as it takes years to build skills and especially in engineering a lot longer.

  2. Whos going to fix and fly them? People keep leaving in big numbers.

  3. Its a shame when the majority of the nation dont serve their country just rinse it to fill their pockets. Out of 68 million folk, the uk military is tiny. Wave your flags and then enjoy your consumerism and capatilism.
