I guess certain individuals in the light blue and dark blue bretheren believe that right now they are busier than the green jobs....

If we accept that the SH force are part of the Army (as with CHF) - they do after all belong to JHC and therefore Land Command - then the remainder of the oldest and youngest services are not really doing much are they? AT force also excepted here. Please don't compare guarding an airbase with infantry patrolling duties in Basrah or Helmand.

Which would allow a destroyer or a frigate to poise menacingly off the Eastern Mediterannean coast, alongside a fighter or two from Strike Command.

Not exactly taxing, is it, compared to patrolling the Taliban heartland. I think Jacko has a fair point. I don't think the Army has anyone left.
