Western Forces running out of Money and Resources

Well it appears that the economy is creating quite a few meltdowns for the West.

Right Now, British forces need more troops and are willing to sacrifice technology to get it.

Thanks ahead of time for starring and flagging. This is important info that needs to be shown to other people on ATS.

snippet from source:

A British Army strategy document seen by The Sunday Telegraph states that the Army may need to grow by 20 per cent from its current strength of 101,000 troops if the country is to be adequately defended from future threats.

Tell me what you think. If you ask me, there are signals going up everywhere. With all of the earthquakes, political conjecture, bailouts, and unemployment being pulled from under the American people...pretty soon our military will be getting gross cutbacks to the point where we won't even be able to defend ourselves. This is getting pretty hairy people. Take a look around...our stability is nothing more than an illusion.

our currently military reminds of of germany in world war 2.....

hitler had the best weapons,the best scientists and troops were trained well.

what does this have to do with today? hitler lost why because of quality over quantity.

its our overonfidence our over dependence on technology of have all the toys with the bells and whistles.

im not saying the us is nazis were not.

obama has already vcut defense,and continues cutting programs he shouldnbe be the nuclear arsenal by 50%

obama is giving away our sovereignity and is leaving us defenseless the sooner hes voted out the better.

without national security there is no usa we are so weak right now any country can invade is without much of a fight.

meanwhile the us congress continues to spend spend spend but on things that are not as important as defense

You are wrong about Germany in ww2. Hitler went with quality because he did not have quantity. It was not like he could invent more troops. The reason he lost was numbers pure and simple and if he had the numbers we would be speaking German right now well some of us would be. His biggest mistakes were not pushing the British expeditionary force at Dunkirk into the ocean and not just waiting to attack Russia. If had just a couple of more months he would have had the big one and we may have had to settle for a truce with them.

Also this is kind of a side note but check out German mothers crosses. It kind of ties into the whole troop number thing.
