The Right Equipment for the Armed Forces
I was under the impression that, both the Government of the day & the most senior Military Staff (CDS etc) had a `duty of care` to all the members of the Armed Forces. I would suggest, that by knowingly sending the Armed Forces into any active operational zone without the right & best equipment for the job, this `duty of care` has not been met.
Would there be a case therefore, for the familiy of any of our Service Personnel who have tragically lost their lives, where it was obvious that this loss of life was due to poor equipment, for example the use of under defended Land Rovers as against far more robust vehicles, to sue the Prime Minister, Defence Secretary & the Chief of the Defence Staff amongst others, as they had or not, totally failed in their `duty of care`.
