Dear Vlad,

Top idea, me old tovarich. Make the stupid MoD beancounters and the 'Your hardship, my stars' leaders realise how badly they've served the UK ever since 'Options for Defeat'......

Keep it up for just long enough to make Gray Gordon implode in a sea of confusion before Green Dave takes over, gthen watch the new Conservative UK government commit itself to increased defence spending!

Then tell everyone they misunderstood you, really! But not until we've replaced the Nimrod, VC10, TriStar, PR9 etc etc with something a bit more, well, 21st Century. And reopened a couple of dozen or more RAF aerodromes, thrown out any PFI and/or contractor-operated nonsense, tripled the size of the RAF, rebuilt Nocton Hall, Ely, Wroughton and Wegberg........

But be careful about that ar$e Bush. He may not quite understand that you have concerns about him blundering into Europe to install a whole shedload of rockets on your doorstep. Try saying "Remember Cuba, 1962?" and see whether he remembers how pi$$ed of Kennedy was when your predecessors parked a whole load of rockets on his doorstep!

Cheers,

BEags.
