Criticism/Question[edit]

Ought the table to include the actual title of the post (in English for purposes of English wikipedia)? In UK alone there is the Secretary of State for Defence, and their junior Ministers of State. Also is the intention to include junior ministers or those with portfolios for particular aspects of defence/military affairs or are these just those who held their ministry's top job? In UK we have not yet had a female SofS for Defence but already two junior defence ministers (Anna Soubry and Penny Mordaunt).Cloptonson (talk) 09:28, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
