Come to think of it, where have I heard of that idea before?

I believe Mountbatten had that in mind when he created the MOD and got rid of the War Office, Admiralty and Air Ministry. Personnally I think he was wrong. A
War Office and
Our Lords of the Admiralty have far more resonnance with power than pentangles and defence.
No messing there, you play ball with us and we shall refer it to the
War Office, none of this defence cr^p. Or the Admiralty, a single person, the office of Lord High Admiral. No committees here, bit like Gorshkov or Richenbacker. They knew who they were and where they were going.
To those too I guess we should add Trenchard. Who would the Army choose as having a single minded determination or what was the right thing to do? Where is our charismatic leadership that
will enter the political arena?
