Lets face it we have a society in the UK that is being pushed by the liberal tree hugging minority into being ashamed of or UK history and the part that the military has played in it.
There will never be adequate spending on equipment when the nation is more concerned in Ashley Cole holding out for £90,000 a week, when funding is being spent on stopping Irish Farmers and drug dealer from shooting each other, £100K is being spent on keeping Ian Huntley alive and prisoners get three hot meals a day.
We have a society that should hold its head in shame and a procurement system that is a disgusting waste of money.
Until the MoD hires some proper contract writers, they are going to continually get ripped off by companies and people are going to get rich at the expense of our lives.
Much of our equipment is poor and not upto the task, we are getting a bloody nose from $10 taliban with RPGs and a pair of sandles. To the public this is a world away, July 7th was not a wake-up call the government wanted, it has back-fired and people would rather be out of the middle east.
No wonder a Major in contact is disillusioned, the nation is as well (Those who have noticed that this war is going on), it is just a shame the media have picked up on "RAF Utte......".
I bet he is absolutely devistated by what is going on over this leaked e-mail.
