There is another RAF asset "delivering the good news to Terry" that we have failed to mention...MQ-9 Reaper. It now flies night and day with a mix of 500lb LGBs and laser guided missiles (using about 4 a month on average since 2008). If we're into Tornado and Harrier bashing ask how many "deliveries" RAF MQ-9 has made in comparison to them during their concurrent deploy periods - granted "show of force" is a bit pants from an MQ-9!!!
By the way, IMHO, I think that "THE War / A War" banter is the biggest load of b0ll0cks invented by the Army - it's a war, pretty sh!tty like any other war, but is still just a war. If it was "THE War" then it would imply that it is the ultimate one and I reckon that there are few more to come yet! Otherwise, we're in for a Woodrow Wilson moment of a "War to end all wars"!
Oh, and I may have been wrong about the "show of force"
