Mardy old man that I am, I have said before, that nothing goes out of fashion quicker than fashion and these events provide a useful barometer of public opinion for the g'ment. The danger of Forces Overload is that once the g'ment perceives that the public has had enough and is starting to switch off, it can consider doing until recently anyway, the unthinkable and review Forces/Veterans benefits that have been, for the past few years, inviolate.
Such is the long term danger of linking our sense of national responsibility with Robbie feckin' Williams.. and that is why we need to embrace soon, once again, the Royal British Legion as well as launching ourselves headlong at Help for Heroes and the plethora of other (well meaning) causes, which don't have the same timeless resolution. Both styles complement each other, but we must not have an either/or approach.
