I am proud to have served in the UK’s armed forces, and I believe the British Army is the most professional in the world, but it is a shadow of its former self. I believe it is getting harder for the UK armed forces to stand on the world stage because of the depletion of the military. Everyone will say that it is been hollowed out for 14 years, but a great book, just out, “The Rise and Fall of the British Army, 1975–2025” by Brigadier Ben Barry, shows that the UK armed forces have been in decline since 1981.
