We managed to corral several hundred thousand for the Iraq and Afghan wars. I know we have had cuts and aren’t as big as we once were, but neither are two old men and a dog.
As to UK mess, its not remotely aa apocalyptic as you lot think, and its not the army’s job anyway. If anyone should clear up self-mess first, take a hard look at yourselves.
I suspect that the MSM in the UK is much like ours and is in league with the enemy trying to destroy you. I've always wondered about the MSM suicide pact with the enemy — don't they know they'll be among the first ones shot if the bad guys take over? I guess DENIAL isn't a river in Egypt.
