Soddim.
The person that started the cockwaving is you. The only difference between my post and yours is that I didn't couch mine in polititians weasel words:-
Soddim says "If one tries to be totally objective there is much logic in the provision of all air power from an independent air force. The Army and the Navy are utterly professional in their own roles and, similiarly, so is the Air Force in theirs. To assume that within any one of the three services one could muster and maintain the level of expertise and experience to perform satisfactorily the role of any of the other two services diminishes the credibility of separate armed services."
Translated:- "From my position as a patronising git it is obvious that whilst the RN and Army are good at their boat and trench things they are really amateurs in the air and should leave it to the grown-ups who are wonderful like me."
Soddim says "The RAF is not clamouring for tanks or ships so why do the other two services want their own air power. They should accept that if they want air support and don't get it there is a very good reason - someone else needs it more. In these austere times it is vital to apportion one's resources so that they can be shared according to the priorities of the moment - not held in reserve by a force that does not need it at the time or equipped solely for naval or land force support."
Translated:- "I won't interefere with your grubby toys, and my toys are far to complex for kids like you to understand. I am far more mature than you and the resource management issues are so tricky it's best if you don't worry your tiny heads about it, so just run along and be glad for what we dish out."
