Defence News - MOD News Blog

http://www.blogs.mod.uk/defence_news/

"Despite all the things we do to explain what defence is about - the media facilities, the documentaries, the books, the websites, the interviews - that give detailed accounts of everything from latest operations in Helmand to UFOs (another non-cover up) we can never do enough. Hence this blog, and this, my first post. My aim is to offer my thoughts - from the heart of the MOD - on a given subject each week or two. I would welcome (polite) feedback on what I say, and on what you would like to hear about."
