I heartily agree with you but I wonder from your post, who must understand that we are not the power that we once were. The forces or the politicians???
My own personal thoughts are that the forces know we are getting the short end with not enough kit and blokes/esses to do the job, but do the politicians.
IIRC the first Cold War dividend brought howls of protest etc about the very subjects but the Treasury said well if you haven't got the Kit/Men then you wont be able to go will you. We all laughed our little cotton socks of at that!!!
