General Dannatt has the support of his army. I doubt any member of the Labour party even has the support of their own constituents right now. That speaks volumes, as does the turnaround from 'Lord' Malloch-Brown...

OH flip - read the ******* question. I read is General Danatt a ..., not George boll*ck breath so voted incorrectly.
If the head of the Army cannot speak up for his troops, who can?
BTW - arn't we on active service somewhere in the world constantly - GW1, Balkans, Siera Leone, Afganistan, Iraq, etc.
Next time I will read the question ...

(The CGS, formerly CIGS, is the head army honcho, and the CDS is one of the heads of the MoD i.e. deals with all services, formerly War Office, Admiralty, and Air Ministry.)
CGS = Head of Army (formerly Chief of the Imperial General Staff)
CDS = Head of Forces (currently Sir Jock Stirrup (ex-Chief of the Air Staff)).
