The Reason why the Silence is Deafening
CDF was told that he was NOT to comment upon the Report and has passed this on to the individual service chiefs.
One of the first major KRUDD FUDGEs.
It'd be nice if he ultimately had cause to regret putting this FIX in. However with all serving members gagged, there's little chance of that.
But what about the remainder? i.e. actual superannuants. Many serve on in the Reserves, are expats or "soldier on" as public servants [or have shuffled off this mortal coil, leaving spouse and dependants ignorant of what they're being robbed of].
The KRUDD SS knows that any likely resistance is token and futile and that the media would always find it un-newsworthy.
