“I submit the fastest way for us to become like the present day United Kingdom, is for us to withdraw troops from places around the world.”
No, not likely.
In fact the opposite is true.
Nah.
We bring troops home and both parties will support reducing our armed forces.
Does that make us stronger?
Along with that comes reductions in equipment, and readiness.
I don’t relish the idea of none of our active forces having served in combat before.
We need experienced men.
