Had Mr Lancaster been a regular Major would his complaints have fallen on deaf ears? You betcha.

So if it's led to an improvement that must be a good thing. However naming the Terminal after him when there are numerous individuals whose bravery and sacrifices are far more worthy of recognition is just plain wrong.

Let's not forget that this MP managed to get a deployment which fitted in neatly with his MP's holidays and, by the content of his blog, didn't do anything worthwhile when he was in Afg. I'm sure all reservists would love to be able to pick and choose deployments to fit in with their civilian lives and then have enough time in theatre to write a blog for their local newspaper complete with photographs of them posing in front of Landrovers etc.
