Oh come on, broken link, where did you get that shade of rose tinted glasses?
Any decision which weakens the Services seems to be initiated in days (Nimrod, Harriers, armoured land-rovers, carriers) but replacement kit is delayed past any useful need, delivered way over budget and rarely fit for purpose first time round. Look at the Chinook fiasco, and others more closer to the action can no doubt produce far more telling items.
"Someone" has to be responsible for the "management" of this dogs breakfast but the poor guys and gals that actually have to deal with the messes that our politicians seem to think we HAVE to be involved in get asked to do more and more with less and less.
The tragedy is, the politicians and top brass seem unable to take note of this.
The other sorry aspect is that any party, once elected, has more interest in seeing how much perks and expenses they can grab rather than do a decent job in running the Country
Hmmm very interesting text change when land-rovers DOESN'T have a hyphen!!
Climbs off soapbox...
