You've never lived life in a blue suit have you Jacko?
'Harsh and over-cynical' is par for the course these days, with industry driven bumpf and complete neglect by our political masters being the golf bats and fairway.
When you've walked a mile in the shoes of the rank and file rather than chumming up to the airships at cocktail parties you might understand why many in the trenches feel so aggrieved.
Sorry to sound so harsh but there are far too many people defending these indefensible quasi political military officers who seem to have let the best interests for their troops fall to the wayside in a rush for knighthoods, pensions and a nudge and wink for that comfy directorship when they leave uniformed service.
