Have we already simply lost the battle abroad anyway? We beat a retreat out of Iraq and Afghanistan recently after massive effort involving er, just about everything anyway. What's the point of beefing up the Special Forces, there's hardly likely to ever be enough of them now to cover whole huge regions the size of Asia minor.
And what's their tasking anyway? Assassinations and the like? Commando raids, grow up - who are they kidding?
Don't get it.
I'm a contrarian anyway by nature and I hardly ever now believe anything our leaders, (politically or militarily) tell me anyway.
I actually believe my own eyes a little better.
Real world - When I walk around most of the UK these days I sometimes think it would be more handy to have a motivated small army battalions stationed around or within some of our major cities for when the recently arrived nasty half breeds kick off with the more established British old school locals.
Its going to happen one day mark my words. Our lovely isle is now splitting like my old wooden table and widening every day.
I don't think our leaders ever get out much in the real worlds. All this talk of SF and drones is utter poppycock. Get a grip.
Just saying.
