I don't see how anyone other than 'mil' can be responsible for the defence of this country, unless the 'CS' has formed some latter day version of the LDV! Given the parlous state of our armed forces, thanks to the enthusiastic attentions of the CS in implementing the Great Leader's dictums and MOD Policy, their ability to defend other countries would seem greatly in question, evidenced by other threads on this forum. When, and I rather suspect not if, the defence of this country is at stake, it will be interesting to see the 'excellent job' that the CS do. Defence is about closing with the enemy and destroying him, before he destroys you, you know like the lads are doing in Sangin? What did you have in mind, minuting them to death? My job is to pay the CS. Their job is to support the Military (sorry just have to stop and repeat that). "The MODs job is to support our Armed Forces", 100 times on my desk by 9am tomorrow! Their job is to defend us!
