I too got the Effects Based Warfare $h*te.
As a former plans officer where did the forewrod writer get the idea that you could 'build a new barrack block for a million or whatever' (sorry mates I'm in Baghdad at the mo and haven't got my copy to hand for an accurate quotation).
How in touch was he then when he wrote that?... how in touch has he ever been? I seem to remember in the TACEVAL days at LEUZ that following a number of false alarm air raids called by the Rapier bods he announced personally on the tannoy that 'this was not an air raid, take off your respirators and get on with your jobs'. Small problem: this one was a 24 x F111 air raid supported by the EF111. Doh! But I digress.
Bee: thanks for taking my Dad for a 'Moth ride on his birthday. He still talks about it! Recommend it to anyone (do I get a recruiting bonus for the endorsement?)
Byeeee from the big sandpit
