Glojo - I don't carry a flag for any specific service

My point is that we can't continue to act as if we have the resources of the USA - those days ended around 1945

We keep trying to develop/buy lots of kit that quite simply we cannot afford

We need to decide

a) how much of the budget should be ring fenced for defence

b) what we can get for that money

For the last 60 years defence has been demand driven - I'm afraid that is no longer possible and somethings are going to have to give
