Given UK troops are sleeping in tents, don't have proper equipment etc etc etc in AFGHANISTAN and Iraq, inspite of the UK Prime Minister, Tony Bliar (sic) PROMISING on Oct 6th 2006, that "whatever our troops want, they will get.." ( the actual transcript by way of a reminder can be found below..)..
I hope someone will really justify the MoD agreeing to pay £1,200 for a door - albeit an oak door, and the TOTAL bill for DOORS alone will come to some £3-MILLION ! OR.. £1,000 for an Office chair, which the TOTAL bill for CHAIRS will TOTAL some £3-MILLION (for a civil servant to sit on whilst paper-pushing in a beautiful EXPENSIVE office, while UK troops have to sleep on camp beds in a tent before going out in thier "war-fighting" patrols on a daily basis in AFGHANISTAN..??). OR..an open-plan “highly innovative” office space, costing £27,302 per square metre, with marble and oak features restored to the “highest quality”. whilst thier own UK troops make do with tents ! PLEASE JUSTIFY THIS

The Justification of this is in the population of England, who elects representatives that allow and even take part in this kind of foolishness. Mr. Bliar did not get to his position alone, He does not hold any power which was not given to him by the people and which can not be taken back by the same.
Have a great day.
War is a gigantic gravy train. Nothing more, nothing less. In addition to the obvious land grab for resources in a vanquished country, there are ENORMOUS profits to be made for defense contractors in the process of furnishing equipment and so forth. The troops are basically warm bodies and pawns.
