Give him a break....
Any way you look at it, Kris Ward IS about to loose his "job". He wont be flying Harriers for much longer. He's pi$$ed off and has every right to be.
Sure he ll not be on the streets just yet and when he finally leaves he ll get a tidy wedge. Last time I looked, most service type folks weren't in it for the cash though so it wont exactly fill the gap.
Additionally (and in my opinion), although he used the first person, I got that distinct feeling that he was speaking with a voice for all who have been affected by this review. Well I thought so anyway........
