Having just watched an extremely scruffy looking and not very imposing 1SL explaining the latest navel cock up I'll take that fiver as I very much doubt there would be much in it
Who said he had to look like Dan Dare (CDS)? It is the quality of his mind and leadership that people want to follow and there are few better than the current 1SL in these areas. He should be CDS and now - at least you still serving would have someone who will stand up to the politicos, unlike the current incumbent who is a mere puppet of Gordon interested only in his diction and square-jawed image. For those in doubt compare performances recently on the Andrew Marr Show.
