Whoops! Who would believe it?!
It seems PR gaffs are not the preserve of any single service then.
Bet the RAF Regiment are loving this after the stick they get over on Arse. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...tures-4931387?

Bit rich of the papers who are famous for their military expertise - NOT!
Last week the Telegraph (who surely should know better) illustrated an article on VCs and GCs with pictures of a VC ....... and a GM. You'd have thought there'd be a clue in the name............

Well judging by the latest army TV advert for I initially thought it was for the RAF as it had more Chinooks in it than soldiers, and I still haven't figured where the Herc dropping stuff relates to truck drivers....

"Some of the cash earned through sales will go to the soldiers’ charity the Army *Benevolent Fund."
That's the real story, members/ex of the armed forces should not need calendar derived funding in order to get the care they need. Same with help for heroes, the government make me sick.
They're the least noble, honourable, selfless, intelligent amongst us, ******* scum.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Pious, military charities ars as old as the hills.
The RAF has two. There are many others. A lot of funds come from within the 'family'.
That the Services provide an opportunity for the public to give direct support should not be denied.
The Government pot is limited and what support it can afford has to be tightly controlled.
To give an example, one charity provided a computer suite to enable a disabled Service man to set up a business; the tax payer wouldn't do that.

Pontius, If they can find billions to conduct illegal wars based on a pack of lies and send 'their' people to an early grave, they can find the money to look after those that did their dirty work.

...and that comment displays that usual level of understanding that many members of the RAF have of the All-Arms/Joint environment. The Chinook was in the ad for 4s.
Maybe I should have tried harder at school? A first degree and master's obviously weren't enough.
