BZ US Forces n others who keep up with the strenuous military training, as hostilities may arise anywhere. Hopefully, the US Defense Department & the UK MoD would seriously rethink about their proposed Defense Budget Cuts. Politicians MUST listen to their Admirals & Generals for advise and not bulldoze their political agendas. China, Japan, Korea and India know the importance of their Armed Forces - NO budget cuts but increased spending to safeguard their national interests & security.
