  I would go to defend my home, but I would not die for the government abroad.

  Speaking to the Press Association, Mr Mundell said the figures would probably not worry military planners, as the constraint on numbers was not finding enough people willing to fight, but being able to train and equip them.

  No lack of useful idiots.
