I think you have, very succinctly, said it all.
Endat!
I couldn't agree more. The RAF as a whole, don't feel the need to be fit enough to protect themselves when the s**t hits the fan (judging by this thread), and bearing in mind that is when they would be most needed, they are happy to be unfit for purpose, so may as well give up right now!
Just as a fat lardy rock is useless, a whole gang of fat lardies helping him guard the station will very quickly be overrun!
Sorry to live in the real world, but if there was a 'real' full on conflict, there would be plenty of hairy arsed baddies swarming over the fence to get you (in the UK), and it would look a bit like a lardy turkey shoot!
Of course, once all the nice fit rocks are dead, you could all shout "don't shoot me, I only need to be able to generate aircraft, I don't need to be fit enough to defend myself"
Pretty sad last words really.
(retreats to safety, and understands that those who wished to be fit to fight, and be part of a deadly military force, would have joined another service
)
