    Finest Soldiers in the World

    Reference is often made, be it serious, sarcastic or otherwise, to Britain having the finest forces in the world.

    With all the forces getting smaller, what would you suggest should, or should not happen to make this a plausible reality?

    I'm thinking of Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen here rather than ORBATs and such.

    If you want a really good strong tasting jus you reduce it.

    The same works for soldiers. Eventually the Army will be put through the final reduction, taking it down to just 1 man. A super-soldier.

    Mark my words....Jamie Oliver told me.

    No, it says 'finest'.
    With joy in my heart, I headed towards the light at the end of the tunnel.

    I was then hit by the oncoming train.

    Yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn
    The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.
