#2 We should offer to have them drill with the 101st and 82nd Airborne. They can get their jump training and do manuevers with our boys.

#5 More and more I'm convinced that if England is to have any military defenses at all, the crown will have to covertly provide them. Otherwise, anything from a natural disaster to two Albanians with salad forks will crush their nation.

Perhaps 1000 years is too long for them to have gone without being invaded and conquered. Maybe some of the Scandinavian countries can be persuaded to purge England of its weaknesses.

#6 Makes sense to me. The idea of a regimental size airdrop is purdy crazy. Leave it to the SAS, and Boat Boyz. 101st? I remember the last Apache raid, wasn't all that successful.

Spend the money on C-17s and Marines.
