"you could kindly explain exactly what it is that you have against honours and tri-service uniform matters, both of which are considered important to those who serve or have served in uniform"
I applaud the recognition of bravery with medals etc
I do not believe people should be rewarded for doing their day job - and especially not the way that the higher your rank the higher your honour
I do not believe it improves the efficiency of any armed service when an SO automatically gets an honour just because he's climbed a couple of grades.
I do not believe that what colour braid you wear has any influence on your contribution to the nation's defence
I believe far too much time and effort is expended on issues such as badges when the armed forces are in desperate need of savings
I believe the armed forces should concentrate on fighting efficiency ( or rather efficiency in fighting
) rather than on fripperies
I hope I make myself clear - I try to be consistent.
