<snip from article>He said the "first priority" for the Government should be "defending the country and maintaining law and order" and that further defence cuts were not possible while meeting stated security objectives.</snip from article>

As much as I understand the need to maintain a healthy defense budget should we take this to mean martial law takes precedence over civil responsibility to deserving causes as maintaining a fair income to those in need of long term benefits is crucial to maintaining law and order without imposing military force ?

I also see no reference by this jackass to the ongoing welfare needs for injured service personnel.
