Regardless, we need the current government to kick start self reliance again.

I am lost for words, people becoming self reliant? thatcher thought the same and wrecked society by manipulating people to look after themselves and not have a country that people look after each other.
Benefit dependancy is typically not a choice. So your first comment suggests you out of touch, a hint is ignore what you read in the papers regarding welfare its 95% rubbish.
Since people already are self reliant it would seem to be you suggesting safety nmet's shouldnt exist so those who fail just die off unless their family/friends helps them out.
Given the modern peace in europe I think militiary cuts are not so serious as localised cuts in public services.
