"THE country's top soldier has praised the Royal Air Force as
"exceptional" in the wake of comments by an officer condemning its performance in Afghanistan as "utterly, utterly useless".
The Chief of General Staff, General Sir Richard Dannatt,
lavished praise on the RAF's efforts in support of the ground forces and described the remarks made by Major James Loden of 3 Para as
"irresponsible".
