For as long as our boys are ferried to the front in Bacofoil bangers the losses will mount. The effectiveness and efficiency of the MODPE in recent years has been lamentable. (Wokka, Herc, Apache et al). Why is no-one ever held accountable when brand-new but unusable equipment languishes ... often for years? The whole thing stinks and won't change any time soon. Whatever the outcome, history will record that our boys conducted themselves with distinction. Good luck to them all. bm
