The level of armed forces needed for defence

As Dogmatologys Minister of War I am now coming under pressure from his Excellency The Lord High Executioner of Dogmatology regarding the number and type of forces at our command.

We have the following: 4 Soldiers, Strange Willie the tomato grower, Mr. Jones from the shop, Arthur the dustman and Cyril who is unemployed at the moment due to his back. We have an old (but perfectly good) Ford Escort as transport. Now the idea was that they would patrol various areas of the Island each. However they used to get nervous on their own and so they all go round together in the Escort on a Sunday afternoon. We also have a rowing boat which is crewed by Cyrils brother Bob, this takes care of the high seas. Last but not least Mr. Snuffleburger may be going to have gliding lessons which would provide air cover.

I maintain that this is level of defence is quite high enough for an island like Dogmatology, I could do with some support here as I like my job at the Ministry, other than exotic dancing I know nothing else. Don't let the High Executioner take my job and the bread from my table, back me up on this.
