Don't disagree with the need for more RW, and certainly don't disagree that the RW force of all 3 services have, and continue to be, vastly under resourced for what is expected of them. Trouble is, until recently, they ranked lower than the Mobile Bath and Shower Units when it came to funding priority in a certain RP dept! I did, and still do, disagree with your sweeping statement - semantics it may be but there have been many, many more campaigns (as you put them) than those you have listed, all of which could have probably done with more resources at the time. Some were single service, some joint. Not all of them involved RW. Difference of opinion - it is t'internet after all
And I certainly don't want to get into some sort of pi55ing contest at which fleet has worked harder of the past 25 odd years (at least not on this thread!
)
