Sadly, I think this country needs to get its arse kicked in a conflict. Until this happens the bean counters will keep on a stealing...

Maybe after we lose something then and only then will the powers at B decide "hmm we don't want this to happen again..lets do something about it".

Undoubtedly this will result in the loss of many lives. Maybe we should send a few of the politicians to the front lines...and take a camera.

Sorry to be flippant over this issue but I as a paid up member of the armed forces, I like others are getting increasingly cheesed off at been taken for granted.

Yes, we continue to win everything we do...but the armed forces capability is like everything else...finite and i feel we are approaching that boundary with rapid gusto.

There i've said it, good thing this forum exists else i'd be done for mutiny!
