ML Handler,. .. .First off, this isn't down to Mike Smith. . .. .The Army released the story. Mike didn't dig it up. He just went with the press release. If you want to point fingers, point them AAEE at Boscombe Down. (I suspect). .. .SO WHAT if he's an ex-INT CORPS Sgt (actually S/SGT). He does a better journo job than 90% of the rest and unlike most of the guys writing for the red tops, has served. Unless you've served in the INT CORPS, I doubt you have any idea, of the vast range of experience the job requires. . .. .He is not writing for military professionals. He's writing for the morons that buy the Telegraph. Pitch the language to the customer.. .. .I certainly remember having huge problems with both Clansman and SA-80. Why is he wrong?. .. .The real question is why is AAC fixated on tank killing when what we really need is CAS. . .The world now has less Tanks than it did 10 years ago and the number is falling with every passing day.
