Letter of the weekDecline in defenceAs a former New Zealand Army officer, I’ve watched with dismay as our defence capability has been allowed to wither through…

Typical. Labour cuts defence, National cuts defence, but you better believe they'll both lecture us about climate change while our army can't even change a tyre.
I'm 20 and honestly I don't even know what our military does. Like are we actually gonna fight anyone? Seems like a waste of money tbh.
ffs are you serious? a country with no defence is just a target. but nah let's argue about school lunches again.
ah yes another letter from an old bloke who probably hasn't touched a rifle since 1985. mate our biggest threat is a pothole on state highway 1.
haha imagine thinking the army is for fighting. it's just for taxpayers to brag about at barbies.
Defence spending is important but so is feeding kids at school. Not everything is about guns. Prioritise better ffs.

I agree with you on that one. Kids eating is more important than old men playing soldier.
Meanwhile our navy ships are rusting in port and we still send millions overseas. Something's not adding up.
LOL yeah nah get stuffed. We haven't done jack since Vietnam. Save the cash for healthcare.
exactly. we can't defend ourselves from a seagull with a grudge, let alone a real threat.
ffs every single government neglects defence until they need to wave a flag. It's pathetic.
not wrong mate. this whole thread is just boomers yelling at clouds
