And we are just about to waste a significant amount of time, effort and money in doing the same re-invention of the wheel - we'll make everything 'Joint' or 'Defence' in a civil service/treasury led spin that alleges that it saves money and makes the military more efficient and effective, then in about 10 years time when we really understand what the real threat is for Future Force 2020, then we too will revert back to an Air, Navy and Army.

With certain limits, boundaries, and of course with resources Jointery is a combat enabler (not a combat solution), without resources it is just another cost saving measure masqueraded as an earth shattering discovery.

Well done Canada - and thank you, some us here also understand the importance of H M Queen, the Commonwealth and the history, tradition and ethos that brings.
