"The aim is that our procurement processes become greener, more sustainable"

"and provide even better value for money."

Backed up by the appointment of;

"a three-star officer (of Lieutenant-General, Air Marshal or Vice-Admiral rank) designated as "Sustainable Procurement Champion" in the MoD."

Yet another desk-based money pit.

All buzzwords and bullshit.

Wow, that's awesome. Environmentally friendly bombs, bullets and tanks. Let's all hold hands and wear flowers in our hair.

Mine's the flak jacket smelling of Brut...

is already green. Except when in the desert when it's beige/tan.

Helps to hide from the enemy.

Remember - an army supplied by bicycle and shanks's pony kicked the shit out of the yanks

How do they balance saving the earth with blowing stuff up?

The greenest thing they could do is disband the Army, Navy and Air Force, except for a small quota of soldiers and finance directed to the UN.

Funnily enough, a move like that would also reduce casualties, make sure conflicts we partake in are morally justifiable and not just political puppetry, vastly reduce our country's costs and debts, and convince other powers and populations of our peaceful intentions; possibly even eradicate us as a terrorist target.

But that would be common sense, and we know how far that gets. Not to mention the possibility of 'losing jobs'.
