Wow.
Now I
am worried.
The few Armed Services friends I have, gave me cause for concern by the way they spoke and argued for what or who would get chopped. Then ultimately how threadbare our collective ar5es were going to be after the review. After that thoughtful, but all too well informed item, I think I'm quite worried as to what the politicians and civil servants are going to leave us - the country - with.
I have no axe to grind, I speak as a member of the public who is very aware - and intensely proud - of our armed services and now one who is very, very concerned.
I too share Climebear's wish that the item should find a far wider audience than Radio 4 - influential though that is. I believe the 'Today' programme has been
de rigure since Margaret Thatcher was found to be a regular listener.
Roger.
