The really fightening thing is that, and here I may be wrong, but I believe that PPRuNERs represent a pretty wide, and well balanced cross section of our society.
I don't agree - posters on here are overwhelmingly pro-military. I'd guess that the majority of society would rather see the money spent on hospitals, schools and fighting crime. The Tories would not be suggesting such cuts if they thought it was an overall vote loser.
