Tuc,
If you had flicked over channels you would have seen the HTV version. They came up to film today. They finished the piece in a poignant fashion by stating that the crews are out there to protect us but who is protecting them. I think the AVM was making a fair point that we need new funding for this protection. I would hate to think that any money spent on the Herc is taken from soldiers needing equally important equipment. The latest on the foam program ( I think) is that a majority of
Js will get foam but they are not all funded. I do however believe that all Hercules ac likely to be sent into theatre will "eventually" get foam.
