As a green wearer the CGS's stock is quite high at the moment.
If the opening statement in this thread from your masters is true, it is utterly shameful and displays a level of arrogance and comtempt for you guys that wear blue that is beyond belief.
...but you hardly need a Degree in Pyschology to figure this one out. The Army has no major battle-winning procurements in the pipeline for some time and continues to operate marginally capable equipment (except the Apache, which is fully capable, just poorly managed in terms of equipment support). The Navy has 2 carriers due to arrive (some time before the Sun cools down) and a swan boat on the Serpentine, so what do those Service Chiefs have to lose by being critical of the way the Government is running the show? On the other hand, that nice Mr Torpy is still unsure of whether he is getting just the 144 Scroggs Wonderjets or a whole bunch more under Tranche 3 - why would he draw any attention to the RAF's perceived shortcomings until he has secured the future for 500 of his workmates.
