The truth about procurement by MoD

The Daily Mail has been running a blog for a week and it is a must read for all former service personnel.

Rational Defence First

William Forbes is the pseudonym of a defence analyst who flew in the RAF but spent so much time with the Royal Navy and the British Army that his colleagues see him more as purple than light blue. In more recent years he has worked with NATO in Eastern Europe, with the MoD on counter-insurgency, and with the Defence Departments of the United States and Australia on frontier security. His long career in defence has tied him into a multinational network of maverick analysts and veterans by whom he is continuously briefed on procurement blunders in London and Washington, and to this network he hopes many of his blog readers will become attached, effectively as associates, to enhance its lateral thinking. He accepted the invitation to write this blog in the hope that it will prompt wider discussion and lead to a greater public awareness of what the MoD has been doing with the security of this country, and of how the MoD threatens to continue its waste of our human and financial resources.
