u wanna know why its so bad cause our gov sucks and they only care about everything apart from defense.
i wouldnt be suprised if by 2008 britains army will be less than 50,000 im serios thats the way things are going.

Even I would be happy if bush puts pressure on Tony to increase the budget hell how would that look if we go to war and we don't even have Britain anymore. Also this always seemed kind of cheesy to me RAF Royal Air Force why do they call it royal its not like the queen or king have any say in the military or political fields I think having kings and queens is so 200 years ago.

I always thought the Royal in RAF was for the sake of tradition. England has had and very long history filled with many acts of courage. They seem to me like a people that do not want to forgot their long tradition even if they were ruled by a king and queen back in the day. They seem to take pride in the past kings and queens of England at least most of the royals.

so who cares what every one else thinks. actually the queen has lots of power she can declare waar and make peace. shes more powerful than blair.
It is odd that the 'Royal' as in Royal Air Force and Royal Navy are there because they are 'HM Forces' and thus have allegiance to he crown in the same way as US forces have allegiance to the President

You guys have a screwed up system with this queen king prime minister thing. She can beg to Tony Blair all she wants if he says no she is left out in the cold right or does she have the power to over rule what tony wants to do? I dont think she can.
Also the squadron leader writing on the F-117 looks photoshoped to me.

Plus opinion is not false allegations it looks extra fresh like everything is blurry and this white writing is all fresh looking.
