"Your points are well taken and I stand corrected"
You need not stand wholly corrected - whilst Tablet is correct in principle in saying that none of his "Exs" has held the posts with which he links them, a corollary is that any or all of them
could have had time in the Services prior to taking up the careers he mentions, bringing us back neatly to the point you make. Indeed, at least three of them could even have been carrying out the duties mentioned
in the Services.
Whether that Service experience would make them any the better a minister in the MOD remains, however, a moot point!

Ainsworth - not too many
real jobs in 36 years?
