Arthur. You've posted a statement, asked a question, but given us no idea as to your own position on the matter.

10% of the defence budget is a massive amount of money. It's also a cut thay's perfectly possible to make without affecting the front line, without endangering the troops/missions, and without cutting jobs. The only problem is that it won't be done the way it should be, the wrong vehicles for reducing cost will be employed, and the required savings will be met but only at considerable cost down the line.
