A bit of blatent scaremongering no matter how factually incorrect may have a response and bring the public on side to urgently address some of the issues raised and that is never a bad thing.
It is far better to under sell our capability than to over sell it when one is looking for extra funding.
But the assertion being made is not for
extra resources, equipment and manning. It's for reallocation of the
existing budget to prop up an army that is incapable of explaining why it exists, what role it should perform and what force structure it should have. It's argument currently appears to be based around "want new tanks, want new guns, want lots of cap badges and if you don't give them to us we'll thkweam and thkweam and thkweam until we're sick, so there".
