My main objection is that even at my lowly level near the bottom of the food chain, I am having to play politics if I wish to progress. Whatever happened to doing the right thing for the benefit of the man in the field, on the sea or in the air. I wish that we could leave the politics to the politicians and all act like the soldiers we are meant to be. And that includes our Lords/Airships. I realise that this is a niave and idealist opinion in the current climate but, I couldn't tell you what I would give to see a very senior man/lady resign on all of our behalf to make the point that we can not run the Forces like a Corporate Business!
Too many are looking at time and cost and ignoring capability, it is only a matter of time before we see an even bigger disaster than Typhoon.... good luck the Navy!
