We do not possess an army to stay at home. We have one so we can make a contribution to NATO, the Commonwealth,the EU and our Allies in order to help maintain peace in this troubled world. And finally to protect our Sovereign states and the shores of the United Kingdom from internal and external terrorists.
Sorry but that's how it works.. mind you if you don't like it you could move to Switzerland and join the Royal Mounted Swiss Nuetral Knife Ski-ing Goat Brigade ( Yodeliers Section commanded by Capt Frank Ifield)
