Yes, scary, it was my thought as well.
In 'olden days' the military acted (rightly or wrongly) on behalf of our
politicians (i.e the nation) and kept their thoughts to themselves. Loyalty
to the crown an absolute requirement.
This gobby twat should be quickly removed from office, or better offered an
honourable discharge via his service revolver.

Tony Blair isn't 'the Crown' yet.

Nor is the Army responsible to a narrow elitist clique within New Labour.


Then who do they report to?
