The front line troops should come first. The very least they should expect is proper equipment and not to have to make do and mend whilst the MOD sits in the lap of luxury.
Never mind, they might have new barracks to come back home to with some nice new fluffy rugs. Personally I'd rather have the bullet proof vest and a gun that actually works.
