How can you state that "The Army" don't have a clue about aircraft operations? Have you been alongside every regiment when they emplane/deplane from all aircraft in theatre? No, that isn't very likely is it, boy?

Yes, they do a difficult job in protecting airfields from manpads etc but the RAF Regiment are only a small part of a multilayered approach to defence. Important yes, showstoppers, no.

I have had the fortune to witness and be involved in the onload/offload of troops throughout the world from all 3 services and all 3 have had both good and bad amongst them. Don't be such a small-minded fool. You're not indispensable, boy.
