3wThe UK armed forces may not be what they once were but they are still a very effective force. Technology has changed defence/warfare greatly in the past 70-years. The preservation of manpower is now a priority. Technology has enabled less direct involvement by military personnel. Degrading the enemy’s ability to wage war is the “theme” of current conflicts. However, final victory will still requires a physical component. The UK is far better prepared for this possibility than Canada. Our current government has done nothing but delay, defer, stonewall & stop gap the CAF for the past 8-years. Programs which were previously approved by Mr. Harper’s government are still “pending”. CAF moral is at an all time low & the CAF requires 16,000 recruits to get back to strength. Political interference in the CAF is problematic. It will likely take a decade to repair the damage.
