Very sad.

“We face existential meaninglessness

Don’t we all.

[Moltke]

The cuts that will be announced by the Defence Secretary, on Thursday are having a devastating effect on morale.

"The beatings will continue until morale improves!"

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

None of this comes a surpise. It was a matter of when.

[Vanders9]

It’s more than sad, its disastrous.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Sorry:

None of this comes as a surpise. It was a matter of when.

NO big surprise. The $$ to keep all those Muslim immigrants on the dole has to come from somewhere.

[Candor7]

The Highland Regiments also have been amalgamated. Its a horrible, irretrievable waste.

Can’t blame the generals for bailing.

But the USA is not much better off. Obama will be exercising even greater cuts to the US military if he is re-elected. (Just ask NASA)

[dennisw]

Same will happen hear if Bammy gets re-elected

The vast majority of UK ‘dole scroungers’ are white. Or black. But dont let facts get in the way of a good rant.

Well, I read that a high percentage of Muslim immigrants are on the dole. Driving around Birmingham a few years ago, I saw whole neighborhoods where men were walking around in flowing white robes in the middle of the day doing not much of anything. So my own observation reinforced what I’d read.

Keeping generations of people on the dole is destructive regardless of their color. But why would any country let people in just to be on the dole? Its doubly bad when they’re hell bent on turning the UK into an Islamic state. Its foolish to whittle the armed forces down to nothing to pay for the welfare state. Of course, the UK isn’t alone in this—its happening in the US too.
