Mmmmmmmmm.
Having just spent the last 4 days waiting for a serviceable and available RAF aircraft to whisk me away to foreign parts to slap a few out of line goat herders about it leads me to a question.
Why oh why has the country allowed Mr Bliar to chop our armed forces to ensure massive overstretch and minimum assets (oh and maximum grinning from the **** himself). C'mon who voted for him then?
My point for discussion with you, dear reader is this:
Why have an operational committment to a 'rapid reaction force' when indeed it is more rapid to drive the chaps there? Surely to have the rifles on the ground, we need an adequate strategic fleet to deploy and sustain said force. And that dosen't mean hiring from our russian friends.
Your comments please
