But, Defence is better placed to respond to the threats we face now because over the past four and half years we have
Cut our Soldiers by 20,000; hoping that the New TA will provide the shortfall if required. Not Happening!
Cut our Tornado GR4 Fleet to two Squadrons, most of which are not War Goers
Cut our Harrier Aircraft and practically gave them away to the USA.
Cut our Jaguar Aircraft fleet.
Cut our already paid for Nimrod Fleet.
Cut the number of Naval Ships
Bought the wrong kind of Aircraft Carriers - No Cat & Trap
Ordered the wrong type of F-35 which may appear 5 years after the 1st carrier might be ready.
Sorry, seriously not impressed old boy!
