Sam. Sometimes the only option is asymmetric warfare. That is effectively what the AOA is engaged in. We are limited in the 'weapons' we can deploy, therefore we have to use other means, like strategic sickness, fatigue and other personal initiatives. The one thing we mustn't do is sound defeatist, or give even the slightest indication that we are 'beaten'. We are not. The operation IS suffering greatly, and is now being held desperately together day by day. We must police our own ranks, and stay committed to the long term. We will win a better contract if we keep highlighting the ineptitude of our 'leaders'. Don't provide succor for the likes of AT or anyone else on the 9th floor (or London).
