Whingeing is not something I'm normally associated with.
I once asked the then RAAF's CAF would he seriously consider a Russian option as his choice of F18/F111 replacement. He replied that he'd do a deal with the devil if it represented the best solution for his air force. In that loose context, I have to acknowledge that there's probably no such thing as bad publicity, and the Sun's initiative probably won't have done much harm in keeping the Forces' profile in the eyes and minds of the masses.
If that's what it takes, tackiness and all, then so be it. I withdraw - to the pub, where I will continue with HFH fundraising efforts.
