By #underinvestment I meant the #BritishArmy (not UK defense in general; RN: 2 nice big floating ice packs) Billions of 💷 wasted on faulty hardware (Ajax for the Infantry that will never see service). We cannot deploy a full armoured division with everything that entails. In short, we can scarcely deploy at all. Hope the boots than my day. Infantry is about suffering. But getting to the suffering zone in comfort helps. #ShanksPony

Given how large an area this affects (roughly the land area of London, although not the same population) this has got to be a massive fix.
