Do you fly? Do you support the Army on the ground on the front line? Or are you just some REMF sitting in an air conditioned cabin at KAF?
Pretty well sums up the sandaholic claptrap spouted by most in recent times. Although the focus of the current operational tempo is Afghanistan, the UK armed forces do NOT just exist for north west frontier operations. The RAF does NOT have the single role of 'supporting the army' - it has to be capable of meeting all defence obligations defined by the UK government.
