Thank you Shek, for your reasoned reply. It is quite clear that there are major differencies between our nations training methods. Of course, our numbers have been diminishing, whilst yours seem to be at a high level still, even after the 'peace dividend' cuts. Equally, both systems have developed over a long period of time so must suit the characteristics of the respective countries. It is inevitable that there will be subtle differences in outlook, but generally I would assume much of the ethos, if not the doctrine, will be closely matched. As has been remarked, we live in interesting times.
