I have to disagree slightly with those who think that someone who is a military history buff knows anything about defence, they just simply 'admire' the militia and all the chivalry that came with it - and in particular those who studied early 20th century mil history - as opposed to recent (Post GW1) mil history.
The military of today is not a bunch of tofty private income earners jumping around in exotic parts of the kingdom, empire, dominion etc, the military of today are 'real' people of today, and as a rule frankly don't give a toss at who made the mistakes of the Dardanelles, Somme etc, ...and ALL of them can vote!....but change is 'good' and I'm sure you will see who your new lord and master is..
