| Its more than painful and certainly in times of global terrorism and the IRA refusing to give up its arm we should NOT be cutting troops - because this LABOUR government are cutting troops by over 2,000 for BUDGET REASONS - nothing to do with army reorganisation.
Most people fail to understand why at a time of global overstretch for our troops with ever increasing lengthy and more frequent tours of duties we are slashing soldiers numbers.
Even Alistair Irwin admitted (head of Scottish Division) has admitted publicly that he would prefer the 'budget cuts' not to be happening.
Lord Guthrie who used to be head of defence and who recently Tony Blair asked for his help and advice on the Iraq war said the plans for reorganisation were folly and made no sense whatsoever.
So why are they needed? |
