Shame on you, Fincastle.
Fincastle,
...... any sane individual understands that the state of the equipment is the sole responsibility of the useless politicians, supported by the 85,000 useless MOD civil servants.
What a disgraceful remark from someone who should know better. All the MOD civil servants I've met (a lot) have been more committed to defence and more willing to work long hours when necessary than many of my light blue colleagues - and for about half the salary.
Fincastle, you should be ashamed of yourself.
