If I ever become king (and let's face it, how could that not happen?) I'm going to make sure the UK has a much better army. I mean it's not bad at the moment, for our size we probably have a pretty darn good army, but it could still be a lot better. Why do I want a better army? Well if you realise that war is inevitable, that sometimes your country will be involved and that it can be just (like defending Kuwait in the first Iraq conflict), then you need to have an army. Not only that, but if you do subscribe to the just war theory (1) then you're going to want the war to be over as quickly and as bloodlessly as possible. So for that you need incredibly trained troops who can quickly go into a situation and deal with it effectively. If I ever did have a say, I'd make the army as tight and as streamlined as possible, and train them all to an incredibly high level. I'd also pay them lots (because it's not the safest job) and spend lots on equipment. So in situations like Iraq, they'd be so well trained that casualties (military and civilian) would be minimal.
I'd also probably want to develop laser rifles, teleportation devices and jetpacks. But that might just be me.
1 Just War Theory is theologically speaking the theory that a country can go to war it's okay in God's eyes. Basically it says that as long as the reasons for going to war are good and not evil and that all unnessecary death is avoided then war is alright. For example, the reasons for going to war against the Nazis in world war two are generally considered to be just, although some of the actions commited in that war aren't

Darn automated posting it seems.
Why do we need a bigger army?
Did you not read what I wrote?
Yes. It was complete Rubbish.
What difference does any army size make compared to Nuclear Wepons?
You could have the largest army in the world and take over America. They would be forced to nuke their own land and our own = No more large army.
There is that, by I see an army only as an organisation for defensive purposes. Nuclear weapons can't really be used defensively. Actually they shouldn't be used at all, as they kill too many civilians.
Off course they can. Most countries would rather Nuke the earth than be over run.
Then they'd be overrun with a nuclear winter

if you had a bomb which kept it's molecular structure even when transporting, then you could have a small wire which is stopping the explosion which does not keep it's molecular structure, and then transport it into the enemies' base.
NOTE: this is following the star trek method of teleportation whereby your molecular structure is deconstructed and reconsrtucted in the place you wish to go
