General Bucknall denies making the comment?
As the senior UK commander in Afghanistan he could not have made such a comment surely. If he did then he cannot have the confidence of those under his command, which can only mean one thing........
Is this the same man who has worked for Gen Richards in a number of past appointments (ACGS and MA) - still acting as his poodle perhaps?
If any of this report was true, then using a current military operation and his position of authority as an opportunity to undermine another Service is nothing short of treason.
