It seems to me that the government have really got themselves, rather the Armed Forces, into a dreadful downward spiral, and this is just another one of the thousand cuts which they are killing the country's military prestige and capability off with. After watching the most appropriately named Bob Diamond the other day, sitting in front of a select committee, letting everything they had to say fly over his head or bounce off his Rhino hide, I can sympathise with those who believe the politicians choose their easy, rather than priority, targets with utter and unbelievable lack of shame.
