Sir Jock Stirrup warns ministers not to transfer troops from Iraq to Afghanistan - Telegraph
The head of the armed forces has warned ministers that troops should not be transferred from Iraq to Afghanistan when Britain's military commitment there is scaled down next year.
2 words though.
"Reduced commitment".
Which is awesome.
No extra commitment to Afghanistan, no forays into Africa.
Suppose we should be a tad worried about budget cuts in the current economic climate, but they will come whether we are in up to our balls or up to our neck anyway.
