Yes BB taken as a single matter this is a drop in the spending ocean and so is every equipment problem that keeps cropping up. Getting away from the spending part of it the impact can be a lot more noticeable on the ground these chinooks were specifically ordered for special forces operations and we are now using chinooks not so well suited to do that role which involves more risk for the lads out there doing the job. Body armour is complete peanuts in terms of cost but see how much it impacts morale when you lose someone because they didn't have it that is out of all proportion to the cost of the body armour. Defence matters are not always so simple as the cost of this and that and i really couldn't care less who orders the kit how it gets ordered or where someone involved in the process goes after leaving the MOD i only care that our troops if put at risk do so with the best kit we can get and that we have a government that backs them to the hilt both things that are sadly missing at the minute.
