Should we cut the Army?

I'm most interested in the views of the anti warmongers amongst us, are you all happy now as with a reduced capacity our capability to wage ware will be vastly reduced?

Personally I am all for reducing our forces to be defnesive only. Hopefully from now on the NATO 'partners' will have to pick up more responsibilty and it wont be us getting th ebad name and our folk killed.

It's one thing to reduce the numbers of our full time Service personnel to reduce costs, and say they'll be replaced with part timers (TA) in times of conflict. But what about the effect on the Firms that employ the part timers when they are called up, will they be compensated for additional costs / lack of earnings for the time these people are away on active service?

Just remember how and why we were drawn into WWII.

and some of you really think its a good idea to have our forces at a bare minimum for defence of British interests only.
