== Military Spending == 

 The CIA factbook 2006 states that UK military expenditure in 2005 totalled $42,836,500,000 (estimated).  This ranks the UK as 5th in the World behind the US, China, France and Japan on total military spending (not a % of GDP, where the UK is ranked as 61st in the World). It appears that the Wiki statement is therefore incorrect. 
 Additionally, a citation is required regarding the second in the world for "global power projection capabilities" statement, whatever that means.
