On the contrary, imagine all the cash and beaurocracy we would save if instead of just merging PTC/STC we went the whole hog and merged sea/air/land commands. Seems silly cutting back on strategic reserves/redundancy of front line troops when we have 3 personnel, pension, engineering, casualty reporting facilities in our command establishments. And I dont fall for that crap about loosing our service identity. Its a command. Service identity does not regularly surface in such a place. Besides, we could all have seperate sides of the bar to drink in.
