Rest assured that Dr. John was on the radio the other day spinning it up that the UK was on it's way. When pressed by the media on why only three Chinooks were going he said that Large Transport Helicopters were in short supply around the world. He said that deploying other assets would leave the troops on the ground short of transport.
Sounds to me like over-stretch.
Maybe we cannot meet all of our commitments?
Which commitment wins most votes?
