Two's in
I've been trying to keep posts short. You may well see watch keeper as an overall battlefield asset, but you know the RA are the keepers and with only a small amount of RA in Afghanistan would you really expect 'their new baby' to be in theatre helping others?
I'm sure I'm coming across as a complete cynic but cap badge politics hamper the army as much as any enemy sometimes IMHO.
What I don't know is whether the RA actually want watchkeeper in the first place.
