The Thinner Red Line

According to the UK National Defence Association, the British Armed Forces are on the verge of "paralysis" because underfunding has so seriously hit morale that 50 percent of personnel are considering resignation.

I've always said that any nation whose central government spends less than half of its budget on defence has lost sight of its priorities. And if you think that spending 51 percent on defence is insanely large, then you're spending too much on everything else.
