Anyone else see a UK defence Force inbound?
On paper, if we leave our own Service nepotism behind, it might work. However, there are specialisms for fighting on Sea, Land and in Air/Space which normally means that those individuals will wear insignia and different clothing denoting their specialisation. So in short, save money and put us all in PCS for day-to-day wear, or same ceremonial dress, with different hats/insignia/clothing and call us the UK Defence Force if you must. We can still keep the names of ships, regts and sqns for fighting spirit.
I'd rather do this than lose anymore FL capability, if it saves cash and a bit of support manpower then so what? If it gives the Govt something to crow about on efficiency and saving then lets do it!
