If he's your mate , that figures he'd share the same views. Any centrist is a commie etc.Nah, she screwed it up right royally. Buggered around with procurement; tried a regimental reorganisation which was a major morale killer; didn't control spending or recruitment or retention. And, worst of all, she made promotion to high senior rank a thing dependent on interview with the Defence Minister - the very last thing that a politician should do, because it stops the military speaking truth to power, they just tell them what they want to hear!
I've a chum I was a Bar School with who is an officer in their equivalent of the TA - and a fervent Merkel fan too - and have had it all from him. He's got no political axe to grind, but can't stand the woman on the basis of what she did and tried to do.
Why's she still big buddies with Merkel?
Let me guess ,Merkel's a commie too.
