If the military are seen to be wasting money on the ‘google pod’ ideas, then the public’s is never going to believe there’s a need for jets and tanks..
There may well be many different departments dedicated to monitoring public expenditure/waste, whether as Sun readers or not. The problem is that they too would be part of the very machinery they are supposedly monitoring. The entire MOD is in urgent need of reform, if not total replacement. That can only come about from without. Lord Louis Mountbatten is who we have to thank for it in the first place. Like most things he had a hand in, it didn't work out quite according to plan.
