Can l have some help here fellas. If there are any serving/Ex serving Forces/ Brits or Ex pats on this site can you please sign this petition.

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/SoSDefence/#detail

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Require the Secretary of State for Defence to be the sole responsibility of a single Minister.
The complex and demanding brief of Defence cannot be handled by a minister who has other portfolios, such as the shared responsibility of Secretary of State for Defence and Secretary of State for Scotland. The role of Secretary of State for Defence must be a sole responsibility of a single Minister, otherwise it undermines decision-making ability and sends the clear message that defence is a part-time concern. We therefore call on the Prime Minister to reshuffle the Cabinet to reorganise the Defence portfolio so it is the sole responsibility of a single Minister, and to establish it as convention that this is to be the case henceforth.

Cheers fellas

Oh and Karma to any one that does

Wow, we could use that over here too. I think Snowden (our new Minister for Defence) has more than one portfolio. Which seems standard in the new government but I'd prefer it if the slimey git (I've met him more than once) only had one portfolio.

Good luck with that!
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

this all changed for us in the states in the late 1940's with the creation of the department of defense and the office of the secretary of defense, as well as the air force.  before it was the two departments that handled our nation's wars.  The War Department which was responsible for the Army and the Navy Department.
