I am also aghast at service personnel who cannot see the big picture and would remove one service's capability/platform to increase their own budget... I'm a former Army Officer and am surprised at the tunnel vision/narrow mindedness of my colleagues in all of the forces who would advocate such things.
Couldn't agree more with Poose. Some plonker re-re-restarted this tiresome debate in the DT by saying that the RAF should be binned and now everyone else is jumping in and proposing the end of every other Service. Why not let each Service do what it's best at in/on its chosen medium? The end.
