I know you’re been asked this many times before, and failed to answer on every occasion, but what exactly is your angle on this?

Are you hoping for large cuts? Are you concerned about cuts?

I just don’t understand why a self professed non-military person insists on coming onto a military forum and going around the same old buoy day after day.

It’s obvious that in the wake of Covid there will be savings across the board. That will undoubtedly include the military.

Global threats haven’t diminished in the last 6 months though. Whilst the deterrent, as an example, may seem like a waste of money (we could argue about that forever) it’d be a brave government who got rid of it.

My advice, if you choose to take it, would be to give it a rest for a while and when an SDR is initiated you will start to get answers. Until then you just appear to be the online equivalent of a motorway rubbernecker who just wants to get a good view of a car crash.
