What with the reduction of the Army to a force of 82,000 supported by and increase of 15,000 Territorials (Army Reserve as it'll be known) has got me thinking oonce again about the politician's invariable claim that we have the fourth largest Defence Budget in the world.
Budget numbers can be utterly unrelated to numbers of serving personnel if you find you waste billions each year and hardly ever deliver anything useful to time and cost.
Just saying ...........
