Yes, valid point.
Why do we buy all this expensive gear - Hornets, Super Hornets, Tigers which can all be used to support our troops
in battle yet we hardly seem to use them, especially when it was a great opportunity to put practice into reality.
Way back in the early 1990's we had an F-111 in direct support on a live fire ex at Woomera with the same unit
that was in Afghanistan for most if not all of the 10 years doing the exact support role they would do in Afghanistan
- dropping bombs.
Why always practice, practice, practice like Pitch Black and not use them ?
