Listen to them

We need both and much more.

From the BBC:

Ten retired senior military officers have written to the prime minister to voice their concerns over the loss of the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal.

You'd think that the Coalition had learned something after this week's disastrous evacuation of British nationals from Libya spearheaded by a lone Royal Navy frigate already slated for the scrapyard.  Where's Jack Fisher now that we need him? 

Mr Cameron:  Recommission the Ark Royal, bring back the Harriers, stop scrapping ships, increase defence spending, and demonstrate to the world that the ivory knob that you call a head is for more than resting your hat on.
