Surely this decision is a result of politicians who did not or would not authorise or fund preparations in relation to GW II.
I suspect that IF a war is suddenly declared under international law you have to go into battle with what you have on the day conflict, then there can be no comeback in law.
If in the case of planned or urgent operations under UN mandate and war is NOT declared or the so called War on Terror, if you do not provide equipment and supplies, you could be liable if I read this judgement correctly.
