Does Britain really need the military?

[MilSpec]

Come on, let the man post a thread without getting hounded. Do you honestly have nothing better to do than bully him.

If anything I am promoting him, he has the penchant for creating the most entertaining threads on the forum.

Well UK can outsource it's defence to BD forces..
bcz in PDF if you go ever to BD section, they are clearly building a big force capability to deter India ..
some folks from our neighbours even suggested them to develop nukes for this.

Heck the latest radar from selex was procured to look 500km inside Indian airspace so that India does nt do any misadventure..

If they can handle India then surely they can handle all of UK defence outsourced requirements..

It might be a good ploy bcz honestly I remember @Rain Man getting angry and opening dam gates to flood BD land to create jamaati mermaids.. now that when created will be the world's first blue water amphibian force

This will help UK save Euro 45 Bn and do justice to budget deficit scenario.

You won't require even nuke subs as this force does not suffer from endurance issues at all.. low cost option and plenty of stealth..heck sonars wont detect it from background fishes..

It's amazing how a small outsourcing can change your life so much.. with Euro exit this is a viable solution..

if there two things we like is money and oil ,oh wait what, there's mermaids in india, we like them too. its either the easy way where you give them to us, or its the hard way . or we can cheat can and open the gates into bangladesh and take them from there.

do you have any with blue tails? it would look good in the living room near the mantle. that and it would be a great conversation starter to.

Well, you have a point to some extent. Especially on the numbers to be precise.
However , as for your other post about Britain not needing to have a well equipped military as other world powers. Huh......I fail to see your point. How does that work? So other world powers (say the P5 ) can have a well equipped military but not Britain? How does that even work in some people's brain? Are we that special to deserve an exception? Lool
Do these people even know that we have interests and overseas territories around the world? Do they know we that our exclusive economic zone is the fourth largest in the world(France is the 1st and U.S second, @Vergennes ). We need to patrol/maintain a presence in virtually the four corners of the globe. plus you never know when/where a war might erupt threatening your interests.

The exclusive economic zones of the United Kingdom in blue, including the British Overseas Territories and the Crown Dependencies. The British claim in Antarctica is shown in shaded blue.

France has an even larger one, guess they don't also need a military.

Yes sure.
It would be very foolish to even imagine to cut the british army for whatever reasons.
The army is also a diplomatic card. A show of power.
Nobody is foolish enough to cut such a well equipped,well trained army with capabilities countries could only dream for and of course with envied projection capabilities. @Blue Marlin

 

[John Reese]

depend on how you define invade. nowadays you dont even need an army to topple a country, we should know.

Thats Why Richest Britishers are Hinduja group

Due even Know Relations of R&AW With hindujas

Never the Less British are No Diplomatic Power Over India Unless US Wants

Reality US Prize India More In their Strategic vision than UK in future you will See what I am saying

US & India Were Born Allies Until few Bad steps in 50's Made us apart

Meh. If it was up to me,we would all cut our armed forces and plant trees together.

 

[mike2000 is back]

@dsr47,. @dsr478 . I agree especially with the manpower. We need to double it. Cameron made a mistake cutting our defence forces back then while slightly increasing the budget.
Especially considering the vast overseas territories(and people living there) we need to protect/patrol, the military bases we have overseas(many people forget we have more overseas military bases than any other country in the world outside the U.S), and the number of countries our military and special forces are currently deployed.
Hopefully, our leaders will look into this in future .

My dear Friend May be today But not in future

Rise the Asian Giants Like China And India Will End European dominance in decade

US Will be more Tilted towards India ,Japan,And Asean Nations As they are their Primary Partners in next cold war against China

Sorry but European Will be observers in next big Game

Iam talking bout Britain Context

 

[Indus Pakistan]

stolen all the money

They never took a penny out in the sense your describing. Have a look around? Is Afghanistan rich? This "stolen" thing is so stupid and immature thing to say. If the British had not come there would have been no Pakistan. No Pakistan Army.

[Olaf One-Brow]

Does Britain need a military? I'd say yes, or else this will happen again.

Or this.

Granted I'm ok with the first option. Gotta keep those French in check though.

*those are Viking raids against the British isles and the Norman Conquest of English for you non-historical yahoos.

the only good thing tata has done is jaguar and landrover
their steel business is going down the $h!ts same goes for mittal. heck all global mining companies are taking a huge hits.
the hindujas only live here, they have businesses here to but a lot of them are abroad. its like me living here in the uk but having a massive copper mine in niger
