This is a normal post ok
and you don't think you'll have enough bullets or bombs for the people you believe hate you if you lower military spending a bit?

strikes me as a very american way of thinking

This is a normal post Not that WE think it's unthinkable, but that the toffs in suits think that it is
partially because Britain is one of the biggest weapons manufacturers in the world, and partially because all the MP's fathers got rich in the arms business. They'd never cut it, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot, to pun.

This is a normal post because then the arms industry would lose some profits.

This is a normal post I suspect also
that there is a world of bad publicity involved with soldiers losing jobs or getting cut pay. The Daily Mail will literally eat its own face.

This is a normal post Here is an interesting Grauniad article
It puts military budgets of different countries into better perspective (I'm not saying I support the spending, just thought it was interesting)
