Re: Modernising the British Army radically (none / 0)

Conspiracy theorists posit a secret appendix to the treaty that got Britain Trident that Margret Thatcher signed, that guaranteed British support for U.S. adventures.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Re: Modernising the British Army radically (none / 0)

There was a time when people couldn't understand/were seriously wondering why on earth a supposedly intelligent Tony Blair followed and played idiotic Bush's all out barker for the invasion of Iraq, speculations were that Bush was holding him by the balls precisely because of Trident, i.e., US was holding back -- the Trident replacement programme replacement was running late.
