Please visit the real world!

Guys, no wonder the informed tax payer considers a great deal of defence expenditure as a waste when MoD suggests scrapping 3BN of very specialised equipment! 'Should have spent that money on schools, hospitals, welfare, overseas aid, etc'!!!

What is wrong with sea transportation? Why opt for very expensive AT?

What happens if in 2016 we either have to go back into Afghanistan or another similar theatre? Will we again buy the same type of vehicles to protect our troops?

PPruners should be leading the way on this and highlight yet another terrible and short-sighted decision by MoD!
