Helicopters in Afghanistan
If it was not that they would be an instant liability, any potential Armed Forces Minister or Def Sec (Prime Ministers as well) should be made to serve 6 months in theatre with British troops, or have had real military service - they might then sound as they know something of what they speak! Saw part of Ainsworth's speech on the News - only instance of reality was when he said that operations in theatre would continue, and that (sadly) there will be more deaths of UK service personnel.
