Sidenote;
The US Army Chief is concerned about falling UK defense spending. He stated...
"In the past we would have a British army division working alongside an American division.
"Now it might be a British brigade inside an American division, or even a British battalion inside an American brigade.
"We have to adjust our programme to make sure we are all able to see that we can still work together."
He described Britain's role as a key US ally as "about having a partner that has very close values and the same goals as we do".
"As we look at threats around the world, these are global issues and we need to have multinational solutions," he said.
This is interesting. If the "Big O" is correct then an ally will become a protectorate. I'm interested to see what British Military Bloggers have to say about this development.
