The ayes to the left..
1.No money (for the military).
2.UK Military is going to be made to look out of favour, has just lost 2 wars on the bounce and will be manoeuvred and spun to take the blame for this correctly or otherwise in the years ahead.
3.MOD poor track record in bringing in the correct requirement on budget and time.
4. Threat from whom exactly?
All goes against you.
