Sunk at Narvik is right. Inter Service banter is brilliant and long may it reign. Matters are different, though, when the audience is politicians or Joe Public who votes for the f**kwits. That's where we need solidarity and resistance to any hopes of divide and rule. We do need each CoS and CDS to stand his ground. So often we let the view of what may well be needed in the future to be distorted by the needs of the current tribal skirmishes.

I don't consider myself paranoid but I sometimes wonder if rebellion by the Service Chiefs is being provoked. It would be a great excuse to reorganise the Forces and their place within the Constitution for the "public good". Of course, that passing paranoia extended itself to the timing of the "cash for peerages" matter in relation to votes on Upper House reform.
