    I suspect that they haven’t been consulted. He doesn’t seem to consult his own MPS when announcing an election so it wouldn’t be that surprising if it turns out he hasn’t consulted the military on this one either.

      Good point. It makes it even more hot air. If managed to win and tried to bring it in I can see push back not just from those that would be called to but also from the civil and armed forces that it affects. It’s pulling resources away from them doing their actual jobs to childmind kids who would rather be anywhere else for 25 days.
