I think it would be in the interest of the Royal Navy and the UK in general to come up with a clear strategy that defines what the mission of the Royal Navy should be in the next generation...In the states, we were told that we should have a force structure to conduct TWO Desert Storm-like operations simultaneously. And, then we proceeded to have our largest peacetime draw-down and base closure era in peacetime history. The US military deactivated or reduced relevant platforms and weapons that were a part of this strategy. Now, once again we are being told that another painful round of cuts is coming in spite of the fact that the world is a very dangerous place for us (UK/USA/NATO) and it isn't the middle-east either...I believe the country is one that starts with C and ends with A...Our natural enemy in spite of what anyone say's about trade...

Unorthodox I know but how about if NATO stopped kicking off with people and declaring "diplomacy has failed" and lobbing ourselves at unnecessary wars?
Maybe if we didn't try and pre-empt the huge growing evil and dispensing our boys for **** all we could maybe just chill the **** out and let nature take it's course? We are not the world's police, nor are we Judge Judy and executioner over others. Note the countries we have ignored (**** them, nowt to gain).
Pack in the self righteousness, sort our own problems, allow puffs of smoke that have cock all to do with us to disperse. Serenity.
Just a thought.

I wish I could tell you that you are wrong, but I can't; "C" is aggressively modernizing their weapons systems (with technology stolen from the west), as well as developing a MASSIVE industrial base. They also recently purchased a used aircraft carrier from the Russians, so you will likely see reverse-engineered copies projecting "C"s power in the Pacific in the near future. I'm hoping (and praying) that things get better over here after the next election; cutbacks prevented me from getting a commission in the Corps, forced me off active duty six years later, and then eventually caused my squadron to be axed and parted out- I'm not a fan of cutbacks.I think it would be in the interest of the Royal Navy and the UK in general to come up with a clear strategy that defines what the mission of the Royal Navy should be in the next generation...In the states, we were told that we should have a force structure to conduct TWO Desert Storm-like operations simultaneously.

You're right, China definitely has the deed to the ranch. We will probably fight it out anyway; it's the American way, you know. I was a maintenance type; 6073 Ground Support Electrician. But I'd given my left nut to fly an F/A-18, provided I could still pass the flight physical.Glad to be aboard.China owns America. Why bother with fisty cuffs?P.S.. Welcome to RR Jarhead.
