Perhaps it is what used to be referred to as "Run it up the flagpole ..."
I guess that's the key. You can't force change because those who resist will morph the change into meaningless process just to show it doesn't work. For change to work, there needs to be buy in and an appetite.
The answer isn't to absorb the RAF into the other services (too much resistance) or try to do a Canada and smash them all together; it's to form a whole new world order. Change all 3 & the MOD.
