Sending it to Afghanistan is simply a way for General Melchet and his General staff to justify spending millions of pounds on a bit of kit which was ten years late into service and for which there is now no role!!!
Unless of course the **** does hit the fan, do you really think we are going to get away scot free in Afghanistan?
And on the subject of wasting millions, what about the CH47's sat in a hangar somewhere gathering dust as they cannot be used at the moment?
