Back to the theme. Yes, the decision to axe the Harrier was bonkers to me, but then I work for an organisation within Defence. Sometimes though, I wonder if we all work for the same side. The factually incorrect rantings of Ward and that other idiot Lewis Page are given media cred..why, cos it's sensationalist and designed to pit one Service against another. I have never seen any point in puerile 'fly navy, dig army , eat crab' pish that some of the less mature idiots in our Services spout. Maybe the individual colleges should be merged to produce a more well rounded Serviceman who is capable of recognising why a decision has been made the way it has, and not simply believing it to be a hatchet job done by another Service. Tonkas got slashed in the SDSR aswell, a fact that Ward doesn't really touch on in his one eyed analysis.
