It breaks my heart...

With talks of "defense cuts" in the British media and what Ive read up on them I'm absolutely devastated to learn that the RAF is going to be cut to its smallest number since world war 1, the army is going to loose a lot of tanks and trucks (stuff not needed in Afghanistan) and the poor navy might loose its two new carriers before their built. This sickens me, the MOD is only thinking one thing:AFGHANISTAN. We (Britain) has the 2nd largest defense budget on the planet, where is it going if we are loosing our navy and air force.

Britain the once great nation controlled a quarter of the world, then gave it all back...
