I think it comes down to senior service snobbery to be honest. As an ex member of the honorable part of the most senior service I find it a bit laughable that the RAF has to justify itself in any way shape or form. None of us would be here in our current way of life if the RAF wasnt around all those years ago and they have formed a central part of a very effective deterrent ever since.
Why are members of the Army and Navy coming on this board to attack the RAF when they should be attacking the govt? If Brown and Bliar ever managed to oust the RAF, guess where they will be looking next for their budget cuts to support illegal immigrants?
Just one note CK, I think your comment regarding failed RAF is a bit choice, I don't think RAF basic is really all that taxing is it?
Also since when has the RAF been involved with space?
