Even more warship cuts floated for the Royal Navy

I'm jealous

I wish the US had to make similar cuts to its bloated military, then maybe we wouldn't get in so many conflicts all over the place!

Hell, we recently (for those who live elsewhere and probably didn't hear) lost four servicemen in Niger. Even members of the armed services committees in the house & senate didn't know we had troops there, presumably acting in some sort of advisory role but no one seems willing to explain exactly what their mission was or how it went wrong.

If that's not a sign our military is out of control, when those on a committee of the body responsible for oversight don't even know what the hell they're doing, I'm not sure what is!
