While Eleanor Doughty's article on defence cuts was very
thoughtful, she seemed squeamish in trying to understand the public's apathy
with regards to their significance. Frankly
the war in Iraq and the ongoing one in Afghanistan the British people are
growing war weary and cynical with regards to defence matters. Such attitudes are made worse by an unholy
alliance of Corbyn's Labour on the left wing and many, though not all,
supporters of Brexit on the right wing.
While thus distracted the government seems to be content with making us
a hollow military power as oppose to a serious one. With much of the public wanting to stay out
of harms' way internationally, they have little reason to raise any objections.
