LJ,
Fighters are for airshows and this and that aren't they? After all Blud, they've not done any fighting or sh1t since Korea - which is well wicked cos you can cut around telling public how, like, sick you are without, like having to fight or anything!! Well, apart from those well dodgy viff puffer toys that, like the Navy had in the Falklands or whatever, but they were like, not supersonic so we, like, totally got rid of them - random....
Anyway, fighter pilots, seem to have an intolerance to medals and Sh1t - so it must be against your human rights to talk to SH mates with, like, loads of medals and stuff, and they must just diss you off with a "whatever" when you tell them how hard Libya was or how, like, operational, the Falklands are nowadays....isn't it?
Snap shot banter mate; CAS is either showing naïveté ( I doubt it, knowing how smooth he us) or he's really trying to lay a pre election marker down. I care not for the horse soldiers waffle afterwards - they're still competing for advancement after 2015. With other recent statements by other VSOs it suggests a rare degree of harmony at the top of the MoD. Perhaps helped by having a CAS far more purple than most of his predecessors?
