What has the RN got to do with the AAC?
I make no arguement. I am asking why most press reports concerning British service personnel and aviation are taken with a grain of salt if not openly scoffed at, yet this one is taken at face value. Recent examples being the C-130 co or the 'utterly, utterly useless' RAF threads.
The point in using the RM and RN was to highlight the error in tarring all members of one service or component, as in this article and some of the posts do about all US Army aviation. As it is fallacy to imply that all RM or RN were represented by the recent 15 Iranian guests.
Also to point out the very real possibility of press hyperbole or just plain inaccuracy in the report.
As in this:
