Me too.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the Government is looking towards Canada for the answers. They cut their Military literally to the bone on the premise that it could all be regenerated if and when the need arose. That is where we are headed.

Unfortunately, we don't have the natural resources to drive rapid economic growth to even begin to make that a reality. I think we are on the brink of losing whole capabilities forever.

There will be no stalegmites in our budget graphs, just huge stalectites.

I think the 'apparent' neglect of the Falklands is another mistake in the making. No longer participating in poorly planned hot and dusty adventures is one thing, but ignoring the potential of the FI is quite another.
