In fairness the current government does not take money of the armed forces, it just expects them to do far more than it can with what it already gives.

In real terms the MoD budget has increased under Labour (admittedly by a fraction of a percent) But it is expected to fund far more with it, such as Iraq and Afghanistan along side multiple large procurement projects.
