Don't COIN operations getair support then!
All joking apart AIDU, you're probably right, but don't it just seem rather ironic that the country that got its nose bloodied in vietnam is criticising us for inadequacy?
I'm sure a lot of people - whatever shade of uniform they wore - who fought died in places like malaya, NI etc etc would have an opinion on how to manage counter insurgency operations properly!
Typical Yank *ank!
