I suppose you’d rather have a Gov’t that sells off the MoD married quarter estate to a consortium of Japanese banks? Or who dismantles the Military medical services and closes all military hospitals? Or who introduces contractorisation, privatisation and civilianisation?
Ermmmmm, Please forgive me If I am wrong but I think you just described our current Government? (not sure about the Japanese Bank bit, but the MQ's were sold off a long time ago).
Mores to the point this Government's ego is writing cheques that the lack of bodies in it's armed forces can't cash. Great balls of fire!
