The Army could be relatively small. A robust home defence force equipped to fight on home soil isn't expensive. The Navy needs to be way more than the 50 capital ships that is now merely a pipe dream. It will take time to rebuild that capabilty. the Air Force needs to provide air defence forces and maritime patrol. Its not too late but we're getting there. Now, a defensive force doesn't win wars so lets not neglect the offensive air for too long. Hopefully F35 will deliver.
Put your rose coloured sunglasses on Sunshine, and check your syntax and punctuation!!

Would you like to tell me what an F35 is............???????

So sorry - not "is" - what "will be"!!!
