Probably some lasses as well.
Thinks ................... do we deserve our armed forces? I fear we are becoming a third rate country with first class young service folk. When Sudan kicked off, allegedly the ambassador, his 2 i/c and Head of security were in UK, and only 4 / 10 FO staff were at desks [as opposed to WFH]. Sudan was exactly the type of situation where teamwork and togetherness and networking produces the best results ...... Zoom and emails do not cut it.
