The UK military is at rock bottom. Most of the highly experienced squaddies have either left or been sacked. The only airpower our fleet has are sea Lynx, merlins and seakings. We do have the best air defence ships in the world but they cant defend an entire fleet alone. Some of our armoured regiments dont even have any tanks.

We have not been this vulnerable for the last 500 years.


12 years of war will do that to an Army.

Its disgusting that they bailed out the bankers and didnt do f all for the army than a paltry pay raise.

Too much is wasted on "procurement tours" (read massive overfunded bloated defence contracts) by whitehall civvies who are basically on a massive bender.

Absolutely sickening.

12 years of war, run by people who can follow 'cause and effect' ought leave you with a pretty well-prepared and refined army.

Sadly, that's not been so. Instead, it's been treated as political football, with some fair amount of graft on the side.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Where did you get the notion that government represents you? Let me guess, a government run education program.
