Lifeofthemind, I totally agree about the ethos and seamanship of the RN but the civilians totally dominate professional military types and that means they end up with warships with aluminum superstructures and other sorts of insanity. And it is unlikely that civilian apparatchiks will fight for their men and their service like a good officer will.
The RAF also has some great, professional people. They used to refuel a lot of our aircraft in the air (maybe still do) and if they hadn’t been consummately professional and always on the job at the right spot our guys would have been swimming ’round in the dark.
It must be heartbreaking for their military people, as well as backstabbing to us and to western civilisation and its core/traditional beliefs the way UK government priorities are set.
And now there is an exodus of Britons trying to get away from the insanity of the whole situatio including the Muslim no-go areas and creeping euro-weenieism.
