This isn't about Joe Publics perception of what the Services do. Most MP's these days, unlike 20 years or so ago, have never served in the military and indeed find its ethos most disturbing and unpleasant.
Make no mistake - Bliar and Co blame the military for getting them into the Iraq mess in the first place. Todays HMG IMO happens to be the most corrupt and spiteful this country has ever seen. Believe me you are going to be made to pay a large price for your perceived fouls ups!!
Certainly we are back to the exact time frame of the 1930's when I understand the world was a very dangerous place and we cut all 3 forces, but especially the RAF back to the bone. So much so that we only just managed to win the Battle of Britain etc by sacrificing a large portion of our youth. Circumstances may be different today but the theory is exactly the same. Britain as a whole tends to have a very short memory and lessons? Are they ever learned??
