Britain's armed forces will be relegated to second-string status and major weapons programmes will be scrapped unless a massive increase in the defence budget occurs.That's what comes when a military that the government secretly despises is worked to death and starved of funds or even basic consideration.
Szondy's Rule: When a country's defence spending is less than 51 percent of the national budget, then something is seriously wrong on one side or the other of the equation.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
