"You are soooooo right and isn't it interesting the British Government just disbanded the 'Black Watch'?????????????"

If this is not the action of a traitor in the service of enemies of Great Britain, then what is it? It used to be one of the advantages of the British Army vis-à-vis the American that old units such as this were NEVER disbanded, while the U. S. seem to have less of a grasp of the importance of the history of a unit.

FYI: The Black Watch hasn't been disbanded. The Army is undergoing an organisational change, and instead of having singular regiments whose capabilities vary somewhat, we now hve larger battelgroups which have incorporated a number of regiments into their makeup.
The history is still there. Badly reported here on FR, and I would have expected any fellow UK chaps to say as such.
Are you suggesting that the Russians have infiltrated the UK armed forces and are controlling the policy of it?

I see what you mean. It is hard to make an excuse up, unless it truely deals with how much the defense piece of the pie will be. Perhaps this unit simply got caught in a budget crunch.
