Here's another interesting clip in today's Torygraph:
Lord Guthrie, the former chief of the defence staff, almost resigned over Gordon Brown's attempts to slash the budgets of the army, navy and air force.
In an interview for Channel 4's The Rise and Fall of Tony Blair, to be broadcast on Saturday, the general - who oversaw the conflict in Kosovo - raises concerns about the next Prime Minister's commitment to the armed forces.
Lord Guthrie reveals his "horror" at the way in which the Chancellor tried to sabotage the Ministry of Defence's funding plan at the last minute shortly before publication of the strategic defence review in 1998.
When he protested to Tony Blair he was told to put his case directly to Mr Brown, because he would find it too "difficult".
Guess that tells us more about what to expect in the future.
