Which surely makes my point? The incumbents of high office in the RAF would see it as nothing other than doing their duty to preside over the continued shrinkage of the RAF until it disappeared up its own tailpipe, if that was MOD policy! Of course constitutionally that is right, until the cuts result in the dysfunctional mess as reported in the MoS piece that you highlight. That is when the Army (as shown by CGS as well as Brigadier Lorimer) and to a lesser extent the Royal Navy speak up. We don't and we have to ask ourselves why?
