Ouch!!
Soldiers, sailors and airmen win wars- not civil servants no matter how worthy.
The Ministry of Defence is not fit for purpose, nor has it been for many years -
and it is very expensive –the cost of keeping 85,000 civilian staff alone will run
to the order of £6 billion per year.

The Royal Air Force reserves will be expanded, utilising a mix
of current equipment and last generation equipment such as the Tornado.
What could possibly go wrong there?!
