Unfortunately it won't result in 'Our Tone' having to explain himself. With the jellyfish back boned heads of sheds we have it'll be a case of "come on lads, make the best of a bad thing and oh BTW, you're off to Afghanistan the week after you finish putting out fires".
Mr Blair won't need to explain a thing. It will be seen as a failing of the military with a "none of the COS's said it'd be a problem".
Its about time someone important (rather than us plebes) said "enough is enough".
