Underfunding of the UK military is the hot topic. Of course if we were not fighting George Bush's wars the problem might well not arise but that dodges the issue a bit. We might want our ground troops to fight OUR wars and they need, and deserve, the best equipment AND the very best aftercare. Not having their hospitals closed and pathetic compensation & relatives being thrown out of their dreadful military houses when the soldier gets killed.
The way to pay for this ,at least in part, is to NOT spend £80bn on weapons like Trident replacements which will only be of any use if we were to go to war with the United States.
