Well said Pristina. GD Branch gets to play with aeroplanes and not get involved with secondary duties or any of that stuff which might give them a reasonable grounding in the wider picture. Then, all of sudden, they are at MOD in the obligatory, career building, staff post - and they realise that they know f--- all about how the RAF is really run. Doesn't stop them making stupid decisions though - or quietly acquiescing to lunatic decisions from the airships.
