theres a long, boring but also humorous report out there thats worth a read (dont know where) my dad suggested it to me. Apparently his jobs also on the line with these defence cuts and he has said he would prefer it, if they did get rid of him. He would get a very generous payout and as he put it. "wouldnt have to put up with working with idiots anymore". Sounds about right.
