Has anyone noticed that the UK's ability to project "Global Power" is a bit diminished these days?
As part of a PROPERLY established coalition [does anyone remember that NATO thing?] the UK can play a useful part ... within it's capabilities. Frankly, UK Mil plc has been utterly burned out by the current Govt's involvements, and a period of "R&R" and intellectual focus on "WTF" wouldn't go amiss.
IMO, E&OE, of course.
