Re: Welfare or Soldiers?
A fortune could be saved in procurement alone as it is a massive department compared to many other militarys in the world i believe the israeli department has a huge staff of 500 (sarcasm there) compared to our 20k plus. Also buying off the shelf instead of grandiose projects would also save billions no need to cut manpower levels at all cut the pen pusher's. Actually employ some of the personnel they have just got shot of and listen to their recommendations on kit and fortune saved.
P.s oh and dragging welfare into this when there is so much wastage within the M.O.D is pathetic by phillip hammond sadly i am not surprised by this.
