Armed forces cuts warning

-

A US general has warned against any further cuts to Britain’s armed forces.

Lt Gen Ben Hodges, commander of the US Army in Europe, said the UK’S position as a key ally and leading member of Nato would be at risk if its forces “got any smaller”.

It came as the Army, Royal Navy and RAF have been told to make cuts in a Government bid to slash costs by £20billion.
