OK, so he raised a debate, but surely the debate SHOULD be, why is there only 1 aircraft involved in the mission?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but don't the pointy ones fly around in PAIRS?
Also, if INT is so sure that the target is there in the first place, why would the strike aircraft have used their ammo on a lesser value target? It's not as if they have to battle their way through intensive aerial defenses to get there is it?
It's good to ask questions and provoke thought, but make sure you aim the discussion in the correct direction. The ultimate sacrifice has already been made by over 100 of our colleagues because their country asked them to risk their lives. The fact that those people were still sat in that room rather than on a Virgin Atlantic flight deck indicates that they are willing to face the risks.
This one I feel should have been aimed at the politicos, NOT the Crabs.
