L J R,

"Realistically, society requires such legislation, and MoD has to embrace (nice buzz word...) such management issues, as do those in it from the low to those at the the highest management level. Yes, MoD must be a War Fighting orgnaisation, but in todays 'touchy-feely' world, it MUST conform to the demands of the time, and even though it may be a hassle to manage, IT MUST BE MANAGED...."
I'm sorry, but are we not meant to be a fighting force as you say above, so why do we have to sit by yet and let another piece of legislation which will do nothing other that shaft those presently serving who are trying to get (all) their jobs done. It really is time to bang out.
