No no no no no!

I'm amazed how many still support an MPA strategy that so catastrophically hit the wall.
The MPA startegy worked, what didn't work was the process by which replacement aircraft were procured, and this is a problem that could hit ANY branch of the forces with the same anihilating effect... and arguably already has done, when you look at how many SSN, DDG and FFG the RN is going to have for the forseeable future, how many fighter/fighter-bomber aircraft the RAF will have, and the number of regiments there will be in the full time army.

At least TRY to learn to identify the real issue.
