Yes, I do work in London, and along with most of my colleagues, I have been involved in most conflicts that HMG has committed us to since 1990. I am neither ignorant nor ill-informed as to the state of our forces; I am simply stating that little would be gained by exposing our frailities to all and sundry and engaging in a Red Top (let alone Broadsheet) debate. Moreover, we are behoven to the Government in power, in spite our our awoved allegiance to HM the Queen.
