Focus on Defending at home rather than Expeditionary forces supporting overthrow attempts at Foreign Governments. Then wondering why Terry Taliban is getting a council house in London because 15 years ago you went in and destroyed his country and got him to start fighting you back.
Doing same **** every decade and wondering why outcome is the same should give you a clue.
Terry Taliban gets the nice house while the collection plate gets handed around so those who served in Uniform can get their bodies (sans limbs) or their (screwed up) minds looked after by Charity that everybody says os very worthy.
And the stupidity will continue.
