Its all very well saying the UK is spending loads on defence, but when you buy several F35's for example, it takes a big chunk of the budget.

I would suggest that not enough is being spent on other things. We don't have high numbers of boots on the ground for example and the money for looking after them, both on and off duty, is not that forthcoming.

Some units are stretched already and it wouldn't take too much to put them under severe pressure. I know they are good, but that is something to worry about.
