MG - that's exactly my point!!! Re the Basra shoot down, fine I'm not trying to cast aspersions, and we'll chalk that down to being unlucky - once is unlucky....that's how the saying goes isn't it?
The utter tragedy of people climbing aboard for a "jolly" and ending up dead is beyond words. Remember the Catterick fallout? Just because it's Ops doesn't make it any less appalling.
Reacting to the operating of the CSW is in my opinion like putting a band aid on someone's finger when they've lost a leg! JHC take a bow!!
