MOD wasting money

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/telegraph-view/8341778/A-call-to-arms-over-waste-at-the-MoD.html
This reports confirmed what most interested people know already that MOD procurement is a shambles.
Typhoon original requirement 250, then 232, then 180, then 160 with a good percentage to be removed from service.
F35 Lightning – 150, to 138,to only 50?
Nimrod – 21, to 18, to 12, to 9, to zero
Sentinel to be withdrawn 20 years early
T45 destroyers – 12 to 6
PFI fiascos
etc, etc.
A lot of these programmes appear to wish lists rather than realistic requirements and with cancellation payments etc. and the cost of sourcing the equipment from elsewhere we as a nation are billions worse off, but the real losers are the servicemen and women who suffer from these poor decisions.
In the private sector such financial incompetence would be rewarded with a P45 but if you are a senior civil servant or minister you are just moved to another department where I’m these same people continue been incompetent.
