Britain chose quality over quantity. Our armed forces may be fewer in numbers these days but they are far better equipped and trained than most. That’s a fact. That being said, the number of new recruits is worrying, the UK need to offer a more attractive proposition if they want young men to join up.

The USA must face up to Iran or exit the middle east. Iraq and Afghanistan sucked the fight out of the USA. Talk about values is empty posturing. The UK military is a busted flush because the economy can't afford it due to the USA subprime crisis, CDOs, Afghanistan, Iraq, a pandemic and demographic collapse.
