One officer wrote that the Navy was about to become “the most powerful dug-out canoe equipped force the world has ever known”.
In angry reaction to the Army’s apparent victory in the cuts one officer wrote: “It would appear that logic, reason and strategic argument have been sacrificed to the bonfire of a mendacious and pernicious lobbying campaign from the Army in a desperate bid to justify their failure in Afghanistan.”
Another asked if the National Security Council had “looked at a map of the world before they came to their decisions? They might have noticed a blue thing covering 70 percent of the earth’s surface: it’s called the ocean.”
