I'm with pr00ne and Jackonicko,
The Cold War is over (Even ASACS worked that out) let go, we're not facing hoards of Backfires over the Cape, nor will the Russians be sweeping through the Fulda gap.
Much as it pains us, the realignment of equipment and forces to meet the new dangers is necessary. Lets not play the old ‘I don’t like Tony Blair so it must be wrong’ card. Do you seriously think the Conservatives would have done any different?
