#1 When you eliminate Regiments with hundreds of years of tradition, you destroy esprit de corps. It is unlikely that soldiers will feel the same about being members of a new "super regiment" than belonging to the Black Watch, the King's Own Scottish Borderers, the Royal Scots, or the Highlanders. This comes from an age when politicians have no experience with the military other than as a "drain on the Exchequer." Sad, but predictable.

#2 Perhaps the military should "demonstrate" the reason politicans should pay more attention.
