Does he understand how concerned many military and civilian staff are at his efforts to portray the MOD CS as an enemy to HM Forces (as seen at the last conference).

It is also insulting to those who make huge efforts to support Defence, and that his portrayal of an organisation of desk bound bureaucrats is utterly false. Does he realise that less than 2.5% of MOD CS staff work in London, and the majority are industrial or other workers who exist to do the essential jobs in Defence, without which the armed forces could not function? Does he understand that making major cuts to the MOD CS will harm Defence as a whole?  Show less »
