I know 1 in 6 doesn't quite = 20% but it's not a million miles adrift. Does anyone know how many actually went, and how many jumped ship regardless of redundancy?

I realize that nothing outside the UK matters, or even exists to some... but this thread is about AMERICAN cuts in top ranks.

So the Royals invite US "brass" to their events to add distinction?

I guess they think that UK "brass" isn't up to the task.

However, I think your LLs aren't US citizens.
