[Saint in Paradise]

When was the last time anybody sold lots of copies of a book or newspaper by saying "Everythings not too bad considering, about average to normal"?

[Saint in Paradise]

The author is only talking about the very high ranking officers - he is Not saying that the

normal ordinary chaps are doing the same.

Internecine squabbles between army, navy and airforce are as old as the hills. RN fought to block creation of RAF from RFC in WW1 for example.
