Apologies, still don't know how to link posts...

In recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ( and many before that), when a General's strategy has failed he is replaced with someone who has new ideas. You do not continue with a failed policy, waste more materials or expend more lives, because a leader is unable to admit personal failure. All Walsh can do now is prepare for war once again with his VCC foot soldiers pressed into action under the propaganda banner of "Backing BA". It is a strategy bogged down in another Somme like era.
I find this highly offensive to our troops, ground and air, that are serving in the Afghan and Iraq theatres. Not to mention all those that fell at the Somme!

BA CC are not in the same class as the basic soldier on the ground or Airman in the air in any theatre.
