I know you've posted some crap in the past but your lack of understanding of what is happening right now is stupendous. I would rebut your rebuttals but it would be pointless. I guess you just don't know what the UK committed to the Philippines, Mali, Libya (right or wrong), Iraq (right now, not ages ago) or to the rest of the ME. As for Afghanistan, we still deployed a force of some 10000 personnel and sustained them several thousand miles from home, equipped them with UAVs, helos, ISTAR, fast air, armour etc etc for several years. There aren't many other countries in the world with that capability!
