I read somewhere that the Russian Army is the largest employer in the world. The second largest is (allegedly) the UK NHS

It's you who are laughing at the deployment of our troops, I'm not. I don't know you can use smilies for such a serious matter. I realise you perhaps laugh because you feel our efforts are pathetic but nonetheless, I feel they have a symbolic importance.

I can't agree our soldiers are pawns any more than the soldiers of our allies are and I sincerely hope they don't have to face the might of the Russian Army.

The health care of the population or readiness for war. It seems we don't have the money for both and it's a difficult choice to make. It looks like the health care won if the above is true. Was that the better choice?

I'm not so sure, I think the Chinese military might be larger than the Russian Army.
