Budgetry Constraints
The sound of grinding axes doth filleth the air! Every last man jack paddling his own canoe and not many of us looking at the broader picture. We fought 2 world wars with a tenth of the number of bodies in the MOD cum civil service side of the operation. Time to stop drawing teeth and start by slicing the surplus civil service tail that for too long now has wagged the military dog. I wouldn't mind if the blighters got it right but jeez the waste has been little short of spectacular. If savings aren't made I can see but one outcome. The eventual Canadianisation of all three services. What price independent thought then?
