tehy need to downgrade Britain considerably. we just retired our only aircraft carrier and we've also scrapped our entire Harrier fleet and are scrapping our BRAND NEW NEVER FLOWN Nimrod MR4 recon planes, and are laying off troops left and right thanks to our d!ckhead government and their ludicrous need to cut the deficit in 4 years.
the deficit needs cutting, i agree, but it should be done slower and should not be done the way this bunch are doing it, which amounts to: oh, this costs X million quid, cut it. that costs Z billion quid, scrap it.
on the other hand, whilst we may not have the numbers, we've got a hell of a lot of experienced veteran troops these days. that ought to count for something.
the bigger the army, the more targets the opposition has...
