SASLess,
I'm not sure where in my previous posts that I think AH are "taking the lead" or indeed what your Cold War references were all about but they came across as both condescending and vitriolic.
I've been involved in All Arms operations for the last 24 years so I don't need you to tell me I'm there to support the guy on the ground. In fact I've been doing just that for 5 months of this year.
I have also been the guy on the ground - have you?
