It's not difficult to be right about tories being cunts.

Soldiers always have bought some items of personal kit and probably always will. Some might have unique needs, some things make life a bit more comfortable, some kit is just a bit Gucci.
The boots issued since Boots Combat High are actually quite good. I have a pair of surplus Altbergs which are as good as the pair of civilian Altbergs I paid £200 for.

It won't be spent on soldiers salaries, their shitty homes on bases or equipment they hold in their hands.
It'll be spent on giant shiny things so that ministers can stand next to something giant and shiny and say they paid for it so that idiots will vote for them.
Same as it ever was.
