Jacko,
If you fancy a seat on the next C17 out to Candybar then I'm sure it could be arranged! The situation is desperate out there & the guys on the ground must be at the end of their teathers.
Cut thems some slack matey, the people he aimed the comments seem to be so, why can't you?
London Mil,
spot on mate. Those emails are probably the Major's only release valve in a situation that demands he is always focussed for his men. He is trying to keep them alive, that's all.
