Endplay, for all its faults, and I understand the team visited well over 40 establishments, you haven't highlighted a better method of guaging current attitudes amongst servicemen. Perhaps you could highlight a better method currently in use?
In the absence of another system and after the passing of the gagging order a few months ago I would suggest that this is an authoritative survey of where we are now. Put it this way, if the conclusion was different and the attitudes were positive do you think Desmond would be so quick to dismiss?
Worse still, having gagged the workforce, the MOD propogandists rush out a press release claiming something else is true and in doing so are speaking on behalf the very servicemen they gagged in the summer.
Sorry, this smacks of panic by the Ministry of Despair. Once again General Dannat has proved himself to be the only service chief worthy of his rank.
Well done General, you can rest assured who the British public believe.
