To think that Britain was once one of the few superpowers on the planet. But my, my, my… how the mighty have fallen.
After years of the British government telling young, Christian, British men that they are the personification for everything evil in the world, the same British government is having a rather rough time recruiting those horrible young, Christian, British men.
Amazing how things work out that way, huh?
But anyhow, things are so bad, as noted by GlobalFirepower.com, the active-duty manpower for the British Army, Royal Air Force, Royal Navy and Royal Marines total up to a rather threadbare 177,146.
Keep in mind that England’s Wembley and Twickenham stadiums combined have a seated and SRO capacity of 197,000. That’s room for nearly 20,000 more troops that don’t even exist.
Just to highlight just how far Britannia has fallen, during the height of the Cold War, the British Armed forces had a full one million troops just in Germany.
By itself, the BAOR (British Army of the Rhine) was one of the most powerful military formations on Earth. Think about it, that was just in Germany.
This is the empire that used to claim the one in every four human beings on the planet was a subject to the British Crown… and they weren’t lying.
