Folly - Purest Folly.

Our army is to be cut to just 86,000 in the next few months - and how many of these soldiers are actual 'fighting troops' will be a fraction of that figure.
I was once told that in World War 2, it took 14 people behind the scenes to put one infantryman into battle. I expect that that ratio is much better today - but even so.
This will constitute our smallest army since the 1700s and is simply incapable of protecting these shores. Please compare to the disarmament nonsense in the '30s - this is many times worse!
The FIRST duty of government is (to be able) to protect its citizenry.
The ConDems are serving our nation very badly indeed.
