You then have the utter gall to blame the British people for the tragedy!
Today, the MOD is allocated 2.4% of GDP in war time. A sensible level would be 4-6%. In the absence of 4-6% a large number of compromises have to be made and it isn't just ac safety.

The electorate sets the agenda on expenditure on the doorstep during elections. When voters start to ask politicians what they will do about the parlous state of the armed forces, then and only then will there be any more money. Until then the Treasury will put its money where the voters want it: Health, Education and Social Security.
