The UK's military dependence on the US is under scrutiny as British generals admit their equipment is aging and unreliable. President Trump has previously criticized the UK regarding NATO contributions and "Sharia law" in northern cities. Despite this, the King is viewed as a respected envoy who can perform "soft power diplomacy" behind closed doors to maintain the special relationship.

A crowdsourced investigation into the "steak and lobster" military deployment theory reveals that while the Navy uses "surf and turf" to boost morale before bad news, most other branches simply serve it every Friday.
