An 8% saving is really not that hard to make in our defence budget and is not something anyone needs to get upset about. As SMG said for years now we have been commissioning projects for kit where perfectly able and sometimes better kit is available to buy over the counter so to speak. We are not a major military power anymore like we once were and have to get rid of that attitude within too many of the desk warriors who feel we are. Not only could it save us far more then 8% it would make us a lot better then we are and despite the paper shufflers we are a damn good military who achieve great things far beyond the kit we have to use sometimes. Being honest i think there will be a massive cull in the public sector in terms of jobs and while i have every sympathy with anyone losing their job lets be honest we all knew it had to happen once labour were gone because they expanded the public side far more then the country could afford.
