Do you know remember the years of anti RN, anti RAF, anti Typhoon/carrier/etc bile from the likes of Max Hastings? Or the way some posters on here insisted we did not need ASW helicopters, or fighter aircraft? Or the incompetent decision making of Dopey Dave in 2010? Or his shenanigans making promises to his back benchers about troop numbers that stopped both the RN and RAF getting a manpower uplift of 1500 of so people as part of SDSR 15?
