And maritime operations? Amphibious operations are the future
Erm...... Isn't Afghanistan, where the Harriers are currently operating, a landlocked country?

And Syria, where George W is shortly to be projecting his venom, has a total border area of 2253 kilometers, and a coastline of just 180 kilometers. That is merely 7.98% of the total border area. Do you really think that amphibious operations are all that relevant in the modern theatre?

Perhaps it's time to come ashore and realise there is a whole other world out there, and Great Britain is no longer at risk from an invading armada sailing over the horizon
