With huge changes underway in the British military, the country's economic plight might impact on its ability to defend itself. But Britain's not the only nation struggling to square austerity with adequate armed forces. Just last week the Pentagon announced major budget cuts. This afternoon the head of the German Army's given a keynote speech in London. Lieutenant General Werner Freers warned that proposed reforms to the size and structure of the Bundeswehr will be among the most far-reaching changes by any member of NATO since the end of the Cold War.
