This is so much like the state the UK Military was in at the start of WWII! Continual running down of equipment, manpower, ability, etc, until suddenly - guess what - you need what you no longer have. Don't those with the power read history books?
I am so glad that my particular fleet is down to less than 20 aircraft and we don't have a spares or manpower problem
I mean, it's not as if we are needed do do all those different tasks at home, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, the waters of the Middle east, etc. God forbid if the N Koreans had submarines, we might be needed there too! What - they have
Oh dear - best we order some more aircraft and cancel that day off I had booked for next June
MadMark!!!
