I know it has already been alluded to about the UK being responsible for FP etc, but it looks like the Independent has picked up on that very point and is conducting its own investigation:
Exclusive: Revealed - how Ministry of Defence penny-pinching led to disaster - Home News - UK - The Independent
If correct, it makes for some uncomfortable reading, and if correct, maybe this is the kick up the arse the UK needed for someone somewhere to realise that value and price are 2 different things and that in war, price should not necessarily be the over riding factor.
That said, I very much doubt that anybody on the UK side will be held to account, especially if the decision was taken by a bean counter or a VSO who has since been promoted:
In response to the report, an MoD spokesman said that it would be looking into the US report’s conclusions ... The US review was intended to examine US actions only and not those of coalition forces. However, the UK will consider the findings of this review to confirm our earlier assessment that no further UK action is required.
Just what will it take for the military to be funded correctly and interference by beancounters and policy types with little knowledge and even less understanding to butt out of things they clearly don't understand?
