'hence the fact that the chiselers who get on the staff courses and use clever words have always been promoted above those who were just bloody good at their jobs'
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
The omission is that most of those who were 'just bloody good at their jobs' decided to get out leaving the over-promoted to create the utter shambles that is today's Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. I have hope and faith that the British Army will hold fast against the institutional marxism that now infests every corner of the nation.
