NHS isn't a Black Hole of Incompetence,

How about the black of incompetence that is the Ministry of Defence and the Defence budget?

We have the fifth largest defence spend on the face of the planet, and yet face a constant round of capability reductions, holidays and falling numbers of absolutely everything.

The recent wars are a severe factor in this but have been largely funded from Government contingency reserve spending and not the defence budget.

Just imagine what the Israeli or Japanese forces would look like if they had our level of spending?

Something is rotten in the state of our military spending.

And it isn't the amount of money...
