Quite right. Chopping units with a long and glorious history behind them was a criminal act by this ghastly government we suffer under. The socialists mistrust anything acclaimed to be 'elite'. They do not understand 'Esprit de Corps' - just fear it. Ideally they would like to get rid of all the Armed Forces of the Realm, and it seems to me that they are well on that road.
