So, to summarise recent events. We send a "strike carrier" to the Gulf sans strike aircraft. JFH manages to cobble up 4 aircraft for a week. Big deal. Our would-be Ampbi capital ship goes over to JFTEX without any UK escort and no troop helos and has to borrow them off the US, just like Illustrious on April. What a joke they must be laughing at us. This utterly useless incompetent government has made a laughing stock out of our armed forces.
