| Britain's prime minister, David Cameron, addressing the issue regarding Britain's military |
The Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron has annouced that Britain will be reducing its troops and to delay a program to upgrade its nuclear defense. While the size of Britains army may decrease, it will specialize in special forces and cyber threats to maintain its status as a major global power. There will also be cuts to the amount of money that the military department may spend in the future; this will help the country put the money in other areas that may be of importance. Finally, many military bases will also be closed down because they will no longer be used. However, there are many viewpoints on the cut of military bases because it provides many jobs and its absence can send many in the community jobless. Furthermore, there are communities that rely on the bases in order to make buisness because the hotels and hospitals in specific area are only used by military personnel when the visist the base.
I think that this is a very solid and logical decision for Britain because numbers no longer determine how strong a country is military-wise; it is all about weaponery in the present day. Not only does this decision save alot of money, it also saves alot of lives by not risking people out on the battefield. Ultimately, there is no need for a huge army because the present world is in a rather peaceful state with very friendly connections between nations.
I agree with Lyndon that it is a very logical and smart decision for Britain. This is because in current warfare numbers do not determine who wins, instead it is however has the most advanced weaponry and tactics. Like Lyndon said it will risk less lives but it also has a downside to it. By shutting down military camps there will be a lot of soldiers that will have to find other jobs. Another good outcome will be that manufacturing companies will benefit because they will be producing more weapons and amno.This will also create more jobs for other people. In the end, this decision has more ups than downs and in the long run it will help Britain.
