"They will do their duty, whatever that letter says."
I trust you will never be the person drafting that letter. Your statement can be interpreted in more than one way........

Let's face it, Corbyn has got about as much chance of getting into power as my anus has of healing over...
As for him keeping wittering on about his mandate handed to him by his party, sorry, but with the simple expediency of joining the labour party for a couple of quid a lot of those votes could well have come from none Labour external forces simply out to cause mischief.
I would have accepted the vote if it had been open to current membership at the time it was cast, but it wasn't, so the doubt is there.

I would not mention Nevil Chamberlian and the leader of the Labour Party in the same breath, Mr Corbyn has done nothing for this country except support its enemy's.
Nevil Chamberlian served as an army officer in WW1 and was appalled by the carnage, his motivation for appeasement was to avoid another war on the scale of WW1.
When it became apparent that Hitler was not for appeasing he and his government made the largest peacetime increase in defence spending this nation has ever seen. He also generated the time for the spending to be turned into front line weponds.
Nevil Chamberlian always acted honourably and did what in his opinion was the best for the country, I also see this behaviour in the words of the CDS who I fully support.
I don't see any sort of honourable behaviour fron Mr Corbyn, all he demonstrates is that he is a useful idiot in the service of this nations enemy's.

A simple way to get this across is to ask yourself:
If it had been known in the summer of 1945 that Japan had developed an atomic weapon, and had a credible means of delivering it to the West Coast cities of the USA, would Truman have sanctioned the dropping of the Bomb on Hiroshima ?

Danny your response is sooo refreshing without all the bullsh£t and big words by lots of posters on this site, sometimes i wonder if grammer plays a big part in their sex lifes, top man.

"So a winning 251,417 votes out of a population of 66.1 million is democracy."
"Oh yes. It is also apathy."
It also demonstrates piss-poor intellectual capacity to seek to compare the number of votes cast with the entire population.
Try using the number of those entitled to vote instead.

How would the Battle of Britain gone with Hawker Furies vs 109's? But for Chamberlain that what we'd have faced. Please don't mention his name in the same breath as Corbyn; his self-indulgent abandonment of our nuclear deterrent isn't supported even by his own party and it's entirely reasonable and constitutional that the CDS would wish to discuss the issue.

Are you referring to CDS playing Corbyn or Corbyn playing CDS?
I'd have more respect for senior officers if they made 'political' statements in public regarding a whole host of defence related issues and didn't go for the easy option of having a dig at the leader of the opposition just before retirement. I wonder which bench he'll sit on?

Armed forces chief 'will not be disciplined' over Jeremy Corbyn Trident row
Downing Street has indicated that the head of the armed forces will not face disciplinary action after he warned Jeremy Corbyn's policy on Trident would undermine the credibility of Britain's nuclear deterrent.
Thank Christ for that. This particular enemy is within and he is the DEFENCE chief.

Disregarding the 'party democracy' sideshow, Cameron has shown himself to be at the very least credible, and, was voted in for a second term by the British public.
This is the second time in recent history that the labour party has not elected the most credible candidate. Come the next election, credibility is a word we may hear a lot.
