US Gen Odierno's concern over reduced UK army

The head of the US army has said he is "very concerned" about cuts to the UK's defence budget and Britain's ability to take part in any future military campaigns.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, the US Chief of Staff, Gen Raymond Odierno, calls on the British government to ensure defence spending does not drop below 2% of national income.
