I think you do Torpy a grave injustice. It was not his call to get the RAF involved.
It was our political masters, and Doctor John in particular, who got us involved in Afghanistan. It is not for Torpy to say to CGS, sorry old boy but I don't agree with a 2-war policy, you are on your own and will have to use organic air, count us out.
Simply not his call.
He could have resigned you say, but then so could everyone else, but that is not realistic.
