I fully concur with the theme of this thread and surprised that so many with a respected view even bother to give the "civilian" airtime. Ignore him chaps for he knows not what he is jibbering about.
Why is it though that the military has to wait until the senior man of the day is on his home run before he demonstrates the outstanding leadership you should expect daily. Did Sir Michael G not wait until a similar timescale was imminent? I totally applaud his stance, and a brave one it was in such a public forum, but that IS his job after all. if such stands were taken more realistically often our valiant servicemen would undoubtedley go through more CDS's but they might (eventually) get some solutions as opposed tp perpetually being on the wrong side of the queue when cash and equipment is being allocated by the purse stringholders.
