You and Yours - Call You and Yours

Presented by Liz Barclay and Peter White. Questioning whether Britain is failing its armed forces. British servicemen and women are active in Iraq and Afghanistan, with others serving as peace-keeping forces around the world. But it is over 60 years since we fought a war on the Home Front and, since National Service ended at the beginning of the 1960s, few of us have any direct contact with service personnel. As a nation we are spending the lowest proportion of national wealth on defence since 1930. Are we keeping the 'military covenant' with our armed forces or have we lost touch with what our servicemen and women are doing for us?
