Just to throw the comments back, I understand how in fact the process may well be made available to everybody, that notice may go out generally. The point the vice-admiral was making is that given how the process goes out, it is much more likely that former military people are going to be much more sensitive to the fact that these appointments may exist and will be much more aware of them and much more likely to respond to them. I think that was the point he was making, and that is a significant consideration: that even if in fact the notice is general, how that plays out is really the test.
What is also the test is that in terms of rebalancing, the rebalancing could be going on all the time. The fact is, what we have now is a situation where all of the people are former military people. That rebalancing could have happened at any point that appointments would be made. That didn't happen. And I think the message of this is to say this is a serious consideration, and clearly those who are making those decisions were not responding in that particular way, that they would probably be aware of the fact that more former military people were responding to the notice, and second, they would certainly be aware of the fact of where the appointments came from.
Mr. Hawn makes the point about impartiality. I have no question that all of these people, whatever their background is, would be impartial. That is their job. They take their job seriously. I understand impartiality. I also do understand one's own sets of experiences. Yes, later on, these people are former military and they would have some experiences outside of the military, but I'm also aware of the kind of formative experiences that one has through that time of one's career, the kind of pride one would have had to join up, the pride one would have had in order to do what they have done, the pride that one sees all the time in people who are members of the military or former members of the military. So it is not a question of impartiality. It's just trying to balance the experiences that one has, and of generating the kind of test that all of us need, in whatever our fields are, to be able to explain why all of this is a separate and special set of circumstances and the determination should go this way rather than another. If that isn't there, in the end we all find ourselves off track often down the line.
