Good link Gromit, this was somewhat of a surprise to me, we are even more overstreched than I first thought.
It would be interesting to find out what this deployment of our troops across the world is costing the British taxpayer, and why we allow this waste of lives and money to take place. But then we will march on London to complain that some football club wasn't deducted a few points, so perhaps this is deemed much more important.
What are your thoughts on our NATO allies though?
