LONDON (Reuters) - Britain has almost no reserve troops to support operations in Iraq or Afghanistan or meet unexpected emergencies, the head of the Army said according to a newspaper report on Saturday.
With 5,500 troops based in southern Iraq and 7,100 fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, Britain has just 500 troops -- called the Spearhead Lead Element -- available for emergency deployment.

Okay, in case you just missed it: The UK, a country where the police frequently (if not always) do not carry guns, has just 500 armed reservist soldiers. So... anybody wanna go take that place over? I need at least 499 crack shooters.
