The troops claimed their weapons, clothing and rations are so inadequate that their American counterparts have dubbed them "The Flintstones" and "The Borrowers".

The senior military officer said "They expect hot showers, the internet and televisions. That's fine for peacekeeping support, but this is expeditionary warfighting."

What about the weapons, clothing and rations that are needed for expeditionary warfighting?

Prat!
