Don't see what all the fuss is about really! A reasonable idea - but take it one step further:
Re-form the RAF Marine Branch and transfer all the fish-head assets to it. 1 Sqn Ldr, 2 Flt Lts and 20 or so SACs should be enough staff to run all that........
Transfer all the Brown assets (suitably scrubbed-up, of course!) to a marginally expanded RAF Regiment........
Then: sack all the Generals and Lordships. Massive savings and improved efficiency; (imagine the reduced stabling and kennelling - let alone the reduced Gold Leaf consumption!). What more could President Blair want?
Now, where's my 'K'?
