BBC News - Liam Fox unveils plans for 'leaner' Ministry of Defence
Jaysay I found this news item published just a couple of days ago.
I am amazed to learn that there are just 100,000 in the serving forces, but 85,000 civil servants.
When people mention slashing the defence budget, I think it needs to be looked at closely and with an analytical eye to determine where the cuts are going to be.
I do not know enough about the nuts and bolts of this item to feel confident to comment.......other than perhaps ask, why would a party in power put the nation at risk?
