Well done all concerned, not over yet but as usual, when it gets tough we rely on our servicemen and women and they don't let us down. Despite frequent comment in these pages regarding the lack of interest and comitment by the civilian population, I don't really think that is a universal trend, many of my age group are truly interested in the future of our armed forces.
Just a thought and not trying to introduce a note of dissent - I would have thought the Special Operations folk at Mildenhall might well have been involved in all this plus the USN has significant assets down in the Med afloat and at Sigonella. There's mention this morning of Hungary getting involved today and, I think Romania, and even the Irish Air Corps has stepped in but I have heard virtually nothing about American help.
