Finally the penny has dropped....

The only thing keeping the British Armed Forces together is the can-do, nerver-say-die attitude and comradeship of the enlisted men, JNCOs, SNCOs and JOs.

Our kit is f**ked, our procurement is a joke and our military leadership is too worried about the next honours list or that job as a CEO with BAE.

This government talks about a covenant between the British public and the military. What about the convenant between our politicians and servicemen?

What about my basic human right to survival? Why is my equipment so woefully inadequate? The PM and MOD should be dragged over the coals for the shocking state of our once proud armed forces.
